Crucify For Love If Want To Be Satisfied

I am married to an ordinary woman with an extraordinary talent
She has an in-built reverse-forward button, others tend to be mute

When in good humor forward is on, in bad humor reverse is on
A Lady Hamlet with no dilemma, to be or not to be- question is off.


There’s always forward for outings, if it’s missed a reverse ever
Make an adverse remark and will unlearn the meaning of favor
But fortunately always get forward button in things conjugal
Disappointed in things many, happy to get things connubial.

Once we’re at a party and her sister looked at her wedding ring
Her sister pointed out that she wore the ring not on the right finger

She replied that she’s right, because she married a wrong man
She looked at me but I have learnt to be silent from the talkative.


In case she finds out that I have been cross with some people
She is tempted to make my enemies her nearer friends

As impractical husband learnt useful lesson from practical wife
Keep the friends close but keep your enemies not far than friends
