Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

Marriage Saved By She Shed and Man Cave

She had a little she-shed in the back of the house.
It was a sanctuary, a place she could keep her critters and such.
Her husband stayed inside where he had no one to grouse.
He liked to have his place to himself also, and I mean very much.

They never divorced but were more compatible this way.
He could watch his nineteen tv sets all turned way up loud. 
She loved heading to her studio at the end of her work day.
Their marriage lasted seventy-three years, making them proud.

The secret to their success was that she-shed and his man-cave.
They loved having their own space, so they can do their own thing.
They were both happy, neither one of them a pet or a slave.
She was queen of her she-shed, and he was the man-cave king.

Ilene Bauer April 22, 2022 at 11:55 AM sounds like an excellent plan, caren! Caren Krutsinger April 22, 2022 at 12:42 PM We are living proof that it has worked in our situation.

L Milton Hankins April 21, 2022 at 9:13 PM Sounds wonderful to me, but, on the other hand, Deb and I never needed that. We were content living in a very small house until the end. But, every couple has to do what works for them. Caren Krutsinger April 22, 2022 at 2:08 AM This works for us but we have been together for 55 years.

Eve Roper April 21, 2022 at 5:10 PM Cute. It was almost the same here in my home. I loved it and I think he did too. Caren Krutsinger April 22, 2022 at 2:08 AM I know that's right!
