Husband

How is it you make me Hunger for your rough touch? Hate missing you so much. Holding back the teardrops. Have prayed for your return. Hurry home to me please. Husband sailing rough seas.

Were you hoping for another husband bashing poem Arthur? I had to stop those. He is seeking royalties.

I'm actually sipping peppermint tea as we speak Tim. What's this you say?? He's been washed away?? Dare I say Hooray?? I don't mean that! Of course there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Sob...

Hello Jan. I gave him a soft touch to begin with, but decided that would be unlikely from a fisherman. I know this because my own husband was a gardener.
