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.)
