Is the Honeymoon Over

Is the honeymoon over
I’ll tell you what gives me a hunch
When I leave for work in the morning
She hands me my luggage instead of my lunch
Is the honeymoon over
What’s happening doesn’t make sense
When I put my arms around her
It’s strictly in self defense
Is the honeymoon over
While my heart is put through the wringer
When I come home I get no smile
Instead I get the finger
Is the honeymoon over
I can’t understand what she feels
When I said that I might leave her
She started doing cartwheels
Is the honeymoon over
Will I find my life in a rut
She said she wasn’t losing her best friend
She was losing a pain in the butt
Now I know the honeymoon’s over
And staying together would be too hard
When I tried to cut the grass I found
She planted land mines in my back yard


 Just for fun
NO!! Don’t shoot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, Vince, this one gave me a lot of laughs! Sometimes we just know when it is over, but watching your loved one do "cartwheels" when you said you might leave! This is one of the funniest poems I've read!!!

there are some funny lines throughout this rhyme but, how often our worlds become mundane and predictable, actually very sad really. It was however, well penned. Thanks for commenting on Romantic Views, much appreciated. Stop by again.

aww this is a sad poem but how real this is for many, I could never be like that with my husband, been married a year and two days now and we have never crosssed words we both vowed we wont and never have, why ruin something beautiful which God gave us, we so happy this poem is very well written and my heart cries for all those in that situation where they get more warmth from the frezer. thanks for all your kind comments on my poetry God bless you from diane

No, Vince, your honeymoon is definitely not over. It's just that in the eyes of the wife, you had lost your world-class sex appeal, that's all. Take my advice: shape up and trim down that bulging belly of yours, I guarantee she will be on her knees begging her man to give her another chance! LOL Fred
