Just Because I Said I Do

Just Because I Said I Do

Oh this war tween man and fem
Makes so many lift the sword
Turn it into poison pen
Telling all is their reward

He done me wrong
She will say
He wasn’t strong 
He had to stray

She left me for another man
I was good, I wasn’t rough
I try to do the best I can
But in the end  not good enough

Is always out with his mate
Leaving me at home alone
Coming in, drunk and late
Telling me, not to moan

Always late with my meals
Oh was she a big mistake
Never puts out what appeals
I live on cereal and cake

I wish him, I’d never chose
Is plain for anyone to see
Chides coz I don’t iron his clothes
And loves the dog more than me

All she thinks is, self, self self
While I’m working really hard
Forgets I took her off the shelf
She won’t get no Christmas card

He thinks that I can’t drive a car
Always saying what to do
Someday he’ll take it way to far
I’ll look at him and say, “Screw you”

It started off in wedded bliss
Now it seems there’s no discourse
How could it have come to this?
See you in court, for the divorce.

I’m having the dog.. No you’re not . 
Yes I am. No. Yes. No. Yes. No………… 

This is purely fictitious and I have 
never said she can’t drive a car, at
least not while moving in a  
forward direction … hahaha

good one, Richard. I enjoy reading this kind of poem!! It kind of reminds me a wee bit of my take on that new contest subject: men are in heaven whose wives scold not, a poem I might not post because it is so lame!! But anyway, this one was a hoot.

FEMs rule...and are ALWAYS right. Men are clueless....always were...always will be! ;) There....the truth is out. If you're interested...I can send you a link to a very interesting view of how male and female brains work! We have wires...you have boxes...and guess what? Men actually have an EMPTY box among all the others! Oh it's a hoot! The one who presents is a MALE btw...so his word is gold. Oh...teasing your woman about her driving. SHAME ON YOU, MR SEAL!
