The Untamable Shrew

(This is meant as sort of a counterpoint to all the mushy sentiment of "Valentine Day.") The Untamable Shrew By Elton Camp It’s ever harsh words and criticize Always excused by endless lies All he says and does is wrong Every day the same old song With outrage, she will say “Why do YOU do this way!” For him, it’s to be expected Every word will be corrected All decisions are her domain His views, she will disdain Whether a matter great or small She has her way, on them all Half a sentence he may get out Before she interrupts with a shout Daily misery is to be his life Filled with unending strife
