Agnes Was a Better Cook Than You

Agnes Was a Better Cook Than You By Elton Camp Agnes really knew how to fix her hair Sometimes I think you don’t much care Plus, she never gained an ounce of weight Because dieting & exercise she didn’t hate She always knew how to dress just right Her clothes were neat and never too tight Even if she was sick, she was always able To get up and have breakfast on the table My underwear and socks were put away All ready for me to wear on another day And Agnes never spent too much money I’ll have to admit that she was a real honey And she kept the house so nice and clean Check the dust and you’ll see what I mean Anytime when we were lying in bed, She wasn’t tired or an ache in her head Wife number two let out an angry roar “Don’t ever mention her to me anymore!” (Unlike most of my writes, this one doesn’t arise from personal experience, but I have observed it in acquaintances.)

If hubby keeps that up, she will soon be talking about her next husband! Thanks for reading. Elton
