Go Figure

With frequent migraine and poor health Spouse’s plea for sex is put on hold Yet if he seeks it somewhere else The wife finds strength to scorn and scold. But when the town’s brothel closed All wives were vehemently opposed. Husbands’ needs landed in wives’ hands. Plain pleas then turned to crude commands. Same old, same old and still in vain, Now perplexed husbands rack their brain. Don’t question quirks of womanhood - Wives to be loved, not understood. February 15, 2021

If only wives knew how much of the family income is spent on prostitutes for two minutes work! Aloha! Rico

Wives do know I’m afraid. With the sense of intuition. And then comes fury... :) M.

Your final couple sums it up, Maggie, I will never understand women and I've stopped trying. Hugs.
