The Naughty Boy

Husbands and wives paired by chance still have roles to play, mother father, sister, aunt, roles that dance: brother, son, all roles smother. The husband acts the little child now his own wife must act the mother scold she does with punishing vows "Grow-up," she yells or find another. A husband's heaven is a place where all is done for one another with loving words and warm embrace not hell with a scolding mother. Act the man, not the boy, I say and perhaps you will find heaven let equality take the day and all roles will say amen.

Congratulations on your big win in Dr. Metha's contest..Wives sometimes scold their husbands for their immature ways, and they act like mothers indeed. " Loving words and warm embraces" is a must for those selfish husbands withholding their love and affection. It's a poem full of wisdom teaching men a hard lesson. Thanks for sharing it with us. Best wishes and warm hugs, Andrew.

Debbie, I love he twist on this. GO FEMINISM!! I know, right? We wouldn't need to scold if they acted their age. HA HA! I love this. I wanted to swing by and thank you for your advice on my repost. I know how you feel about comments on comments, so here I am. Don't think me silly, but I'm a new PM and I still haven't got the hang of centering, italicizing and all that. I get your point about capitalization on every line. Yes, good point. PLEASE give me advice...I know you know your stuff! Hugs!

I agree, I personally have no desire to dominate my wife. Well maybe for an evening *lol* kidding aside I love the fact that my wife is intelligent strong and her own person. If she was not she would not have held my interest these 21 years.

Debbie congratulations on your well deserve win. Nicely written! respect for each other, I think is most important in a relationship. Men, I believe will always be boys, at times. They seem to need a little more attention - Connie

so true Richard, so many 'men' don't really want an equal either - like in Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew? why is Kate a Shrew? because she can't be dominated, neither party should feel dominated

I like the truth embedded within the humour. A woman wants a man to be a man and it seems some men seek a mother instead of a wife.

And I'll say amen to that. I might be a little old fashioned, but at my house my wife considers me the head of the family(as do I) and it's a role I take seriously. But, having said that, the respect I have from her comes from the love I show her, and the respect I have for what she thinks. Because we DO discuss things together, even if in the end she gives me the final say if I want it....hmmm...is that too sexist? Not meant to be because I do need her, and I'd be a little lost without her...ha
