This poem is a figment of my imagination. It's about what a husband who loves his wife would feel if he ever was neglected by his wife - MBF

I romance you, but you romance the sparkling stone I love you with my heart, but your heart is in the phone I talk to you lovingly, you talk to our little pet Tommy I ask you to cook for me, you turn to call your mommy I question, what ever happened to our undying love? You look fixedly at me, and wonder why I’m asking now? Roses were red, violets were blue when we used to date Now, rubies are red, sapphires are blue as I curse my fate Marriage, before it, I had my liberty and was independent Since you entered my life, my neck has a collar with a pendant You never cease talking to your friends, and your mother Over phone, when I make an urgent call you don’t bother I know you love me, but it is for your own self-interest Which actually means you love what is good for your rest I know you love me but you know it is, also, for your own good Like the goose that laid the golden eggs, I’d worry about your mood You wish to be one of high society and take part in kitty party To be at home and manage the house instead of being nasty Not worrying about cooking, children, and their school From work I return, to do your chores, again to be a fool mbfarookh

Hahaha... If you observe keenly around you there's so much to write. I suggest you also read the wife's rejoinder. Sometimes creaking doors hang the longest. They cannot manage each other, also they cannot live without each other :) Thank you, Darlene. Blessings to you!

In the movie: "As good as it gets", the main characters' book-publishers' secretary asks how he's able to write women so well and he says; "I think of a man and take away reason, and accountability". When I started laughing at that my wife said; "That's not funny!"

I wonder then, given your new-found understanding, whether you would consider undertaking an analysis of your work with the object of a sequel? ;~}
