I Didn'T Hear You Say That
I Didn’t Hear You Say That
By Elton Camp
“But I told you to bring home some bread.
You never seem to listen to anything I said.”
Most husbands have heard such as that before
And are likely to hear yet many times more
It isn’t exactly that our hearing is defective,
Rather, because our listening can be selective
So any husband who the favor of his wife seeks
Would be well advised to listen when she speaks
