Language of Love

The only words a man needs to know
When he leaves his wedding day
Is yes dear and no dear while nodding his head
And of course whatever you say

It seems like men get dumber
When they put on that wedding ring
His house is not his castle
And He's no longer the king

He tells her, "No, your're not getting fat"
At least twenty times a day
While biting his tongue 'til he can't even talk
When her mother comes over to stay

"Take out the trash and feed the dog"
"Dont forget to mow the grass"
While taking the blame for that stinky smell
Each time she passes gas

But what happened to that make-up?
It's now a thing of the past
And now she screams "Get out of bed"
"Good morning" didn't last

They say that marriage is blissful
And there's nothing greater in life
And now you know my opinion
But I still better ask my wife

We are having our first laying snowfall this morning in Springfield,Ohio. December 1,2010 what a way to enter this month. It is absolutely beautiful and finds me in good spirits. I have enjoyed reading your poetry this morning Larry. Looking forward to reading more. Have a wonderful day. Love, Carol

You had me laughing out loud, Larry! (Especially the line about passing gas.) I had one boyfriend who would bark "woof, woof" at me if I didn't wear the makeup. But speaking on behalf of women, the flowers and love letters often cease once the ring is on. If this weren't written in rhyme, it would make a great entry for John Heck's "jaded partitions" contest. LOL Best wishes for the holidays; will your mother in law be joining you? Love, Carolyn
