Elton Camp Poet Rhyme

After the Honeymoon

After the Honeymoon

By Elton Camp

After the honeymoon’s all done
What’s next isn’t as much fun

But we have to take it with a grin
Because the routine of life sets in

There are then meals to prepare
Parents no longer put ‘em there

And there’s the mortgage to pay
Hope there’s money for the next day

Then it’s the note on the family car
Without that, won’t get very far

Plus the lawn just has to be mowed
Perhaps there’s a garden to be hoed

No matter how hostile you may feel
There are in-laws with which to deal

Every day there is cleaning to do
It seems like you’ll never get through

That’s the way it’ll be from now on
The carefree days of childhood gone

I liked this. Elton Camp May 28, 2012 at 10:14 AM Hey Josie, I need a part two to address what you mention. How true it is. (I try to keep my writes to a single page as I've found longer aren't likely to be read.) Elton
