A Bit of Fun

I am trying to be patient
Determined to be fair
But she's been over an hour in the bathroom
What is she doing in there .

She said I must be ready 
So I wear my suit and tie
But now we can't go out 
Until her hair is fully dry .

I am feeling fruity
She is feeling sick
All those bloody headaches
Are really getting on my wick .

She succumbs to my nagging 
I try so hard that I feel faint 
But all she has to say is 
That ceiling needs some paint .

She's got a soap on the telly
But there is football on tonight
I can't find where she's hidden the remote
Now how can that be right .

She says I'm drinking too much beer
I must abstain or i'll get fat 
She's sat there munching chocolate cake 
Where is the fairness in that .

Yet if it were not for women 
Where would us fellows be 
Its a good job I'm only joking
and I truly believe in equality.

Thank you Cherri I'm sure you both look after each other and that is as it should be , My director is a woman and says I'm good at what I do but I do tend to sulk when I can't get my own way . That's a disgraceful thing to say , So I'm not talking to her today , lol

So true . I tell my mates when I hear them moaning that they should appreciate all they have but I've had 3 long term relationships in my life and though I'd love to be a coward and place all the blame on the ladies for the break ups , I took a long hard look at myself and was shocked to find that we men are not perfect , Delighted you got a smile and thanks for the lovely comment.

As the title suggests it's funny with light humor, Darren

Thanks Dr I'm a single man and have never been married but most of my friends are and I do hear them having a whinge or two whenever I visit . This was my take on that , So I wasn't sure how it would come across.
