The Perfect Wife

I think they should change the wedding vows We'll keep honor and obey But I have a few of my own to add And here is what they'd say Do you promise to tell this man He's as handsome as can be And will you let him watch his football Every Sunday on tv An will you promise everyday To make him breakfast in bed And put your mom in a old folk's home When she wants to move in instead Do you promise to rub his feet Every night when he gets home And bring him the evening paper While he relaxes on the throne Will you promise not to ask him If you're gettin fat Will you let him hide the credit cards And not ask him where they're at And promise when he tells you no You'll never ask him why Don't make him watch a chick flick And never ever cry If they'd use these words I've added It could change our life I'd be the perfect husband And you, the perfect wife

You got my vote. I'm with you. Don't think there's a snowballs chance but I'm all for it.
