Frankensteins Marital Woes
In a word the monster couple was frustrated
still having problems when they communicated
Frankenstein and his new wife not being very verbal
using a lot of mumbling and throat gurgles,
So the newlywed couple went to school to learn the English language
even taking drivers ed to drive a horse drawn carriage
the other students trying hard not to stare at them
and careful not to tease which would've caused a lot of bedlam,
Eventually they both learned to exchange many words
which they felt was a blessing but also a curse
Frankenstein repeating jokes about his parts being from various ditches
his wife rolling her eyes pretending to be in stitches,
One night they got into the same old argument
arguing over the holes in his socks with the bad scent
Frankenstein complaining that his wife was neglecting her mending
while she complained he was always out with Igor money spending,
Finally Frankensteins wife said she had it up to here
saying she had to go which Frankenstein had always feared
with suitcase in her hand she said she was going on a monster retreat
saying and while I'm gone do something about your smelly feet,
Saying she was tired of doing all the castle housework by herself
and airing out all the rooms after his constant farts and belches
desperate Franky dangled a holy sock thinking he was doing no harm
her reply while leaving being, "frankly Frank, I just don't give a darn!"
Frankenstein remembered when they first met there was electricity in the air
alas, he now thought, there are thunderbolts everywhere!
