A SLAVE IN A MARRIAGE

Mow the lawn now get a broom don't you stop
now sweep the room.

Wash the dishes and put them away
shut your mouth and do as I say.

Now do the laundry and make up the bed
I'M going to slow so a punch to the head.

Put out the trash then clean the yard
for a man this shouldn't be hard.

Now cook me lunch and get me a drink
then run me a bath unlike you I don't stink

Now get to bed and sleep for an hour
I am the boss I have complete power.

Don't argue with me as I control your live
I'M YOUR BOSS YOUR TORMENTOR AND ALSO YOUR 
             WIFE.
