Husbands Are In Heaven Whose Wives Scold Not

I am indeed a fortunate man My dear wife is not inclined to scold For if she was my life would be hell My heart would be all shriveled and cold Within my home a true peace abounds It is my little slice of heaven Many say I am a lucky man In fact my new nick name is seven Sure there are times I do stuff wrong After all she didn't marry a saint Still my woman holds onto her tongue If she nagged me, I think I would faint She says to nag would serve no purpose Men don't listen so why should she try Instead she will walk away from me So then I am left to wonder why I can't read her mind, still I make a guess I desire to remain in my bliss So now I am an intuitive man She rewards me with more than a kiss For Dr. Rams Contest "Husbands are in heaven whose wives scold not."

Awesome poem, I don't nag my husband either, he wouldn't listen if I did. I have learned in many many years of marriage the kiss is the best incentive to getting things done. Loved the poem and your charming way with words :)

you know, it was not until i read your poem here and another person on here just now that I understood very well what that expression meant!! I guess it takes a man to interpret it. Anyway, I never scold. It does no good.!!! I love how you did this for the contest.
