Just Because I Said, I Do

Just because I said, I do Does not mean I will Pick up all my messes Wipe up every spill You know that I'm a slob But just what can I do I hope you know I do my best Trying to please you And just because I said, I do Doesn't mean I won't Say that you snore too loud Even though you don't I know it's just the wind Blowing hard outside Maybe it's a train On clacking tracks it rides So just because I said, I do Does not mean I can't Point out all your issues And listen to you rant Sometimes you descend on me Like an eagle from the sky Striking at my failures The wounds still make me cry I think just because I said, I do You think that I always should Do everything you ask of me Because it's for my good My love this does not work for me And life's a long, long road So please do me a favor And lighten up the load You think just because I said, I do You own my very life I say I'll share with you And keep you as my wife I'm not sure you like the deal Your face is hard to read And just because you said, I do You soon must concede I know just because I said, I do That we will never part And that is just fine with me Because you have all my heart I'll try my best for you Of this have no doubt But when I do screw up Please don't scream or pout Just because I said, I do I'll say one last thing Forget all I said before I 'm glad you wear my ring

Hello Steven, I was not expecting to have 3 first place. I mentioned a prize for the top #1. A Premium Membership. But, from past experience, some of the PM's my sisters or I awarded are not used. It is up to you to accept the second first place win. If you wish to pass it to the next winner. I totally understand. I'll give you a week to answer. love ~SKAT

I like this a lot. Sounds like the lyrics to a country song to me. It took me almost to the end to understand the 'I do' part. You might want to consider putting it in quotes or find some way to make it clear that you are referring to wedding vows, unless you are being opaque on purpose. Also, 'snore to loud' should be 'snore too loud'. Cheers, Roy
