Food for Indigestion

   Was it the food
     or my indigestion

   When I’m fully recovered
     I’ll ask my wife a burning question

Funny Gershon, this made me laugh! What was in the stew? Maybe she " burned" it, but didn't want to tell. Pepto can be a good friend, I think😊

I wouldn't ask your wife, you might find yourself in doghouse or maybe put out in the mancave!

I hear ya. When we pass a certain age, indigestion is a major problem for all of us. Food loses taste, etc.. It's nature, not restaurant, wife, or Iranian sabotage. Very amusing. Well done.

Medium-rare is the problem, I think. 'Well-done' may be dry, but it's not a 'Rolaids moment.' lol. ~ Gracie Allen

Gershon, this is a wonderfully concise, cheeky little verse. The playful question-and-answer structure and neat rhyme deliver the domestic humour perfectly, while “a burning question” gives the closing line an especially amusing sting.
