Leave Me Alone

years for now, the Vicar preached his village,
message of peace and everlasting love,
but back at home his wife would show him rage,
shout “ Leave me alone” and give him a shove!

corpulent now, no more as slim when young,
she was now a mother of children three,
loved him dearly, though she vented her lung,
“let me do my work, go! I am not free!

Christmas lights would bring much needed romance,
a cuddle, a kiss when the two were free,
if he professed something beyond a dance,
a shy “leave me alone, It’s time for tea!

thunderstorms were lot frequent in their town,
he would thank the Lord, for she held him close,
much love was shared when in their dressing gown,
“Leave me alone” smiled she,”time to repose”.

So true, there are times when I want my hubby to leave me alone! But in thunderstorms I'm always glad he's there :)
