In My Opinion

It's all a matter of opinion
We all have one of these
We always have something to say
Even if no one agrees

My wife say I don't have one
I have to ask her what to say
She thinks I'll say something stupid
She says I'm just made that way

If we go to a fancy restaurant
She orders what food we'll eat
She tells me when I'm finished
And when to leave my seat

Even on our wedding day
Before I could say, "I do"
She told the preacher, "Of course, he does"
So I just mumbled, "True"

If it sounds like I am henpecked
My wife says that's not true
She says to tell you, "You're all wrong"
She doesn't tell me what to do

Well, I think I'll end this poem 
And try to get on with my life
But before I go, there's one more thing
I probably better ask my wife

Know where you're coming from (so my wife tells me). She says I should tell you to put your foot down. Awesome write, Larry. Enjoy the rest of the weekend - if it's OK with you know who!
