Marriage's Mayhem and Madness

Husbands can be sweet and kind
Good traits you will always find
Never knowing what they'll do
Days are crazy all week through
But sometimes they will throw a curve
Getting on your only nerve
Doing something not so great
As they start to aggravate
Pushing you over the edge
As they're hanging by a thread
There's a list that I can tell
That always puts me right through hell
Of the things my man has done
Taking away all the fun
Like when he cries and loudly whines
When he's not feeling so fine
Acting like a little baby
Just drives me insane and crazy
Or day in and out I say
Put all your loose stuff away
But he likes to leave it out
Making me just scream and shout
When he's bored I want to run
Until his boredoms finally done
Because he hangs all over me
It is pure insanity
He doesn't want to talk until
I come home and want to chill
Then he finds a lot to say
And it happens every day
I'm an adult--this he can't see
Treating me like a baby
It was cute and sweet at first
But now it makes me want to burst
I love my hubby with my heart
And have from the very start
But some days I just want to shake
All this nonsense he can make
Right out of his silly head
On second thought I think instead
I wont change a single thing
I like the mystery he brings
To every one of my days
He is mine and that's O.K.

I have never been married, but with all of the stories I hear about marriage, it makes me reconsider the thought of wanting to be so. They say it's, "for better or for worse", yet, the worst can sometimes overshadow the better. It is so difficult to find someone who will be there forever these days. I like the way you ended this poem on a positive note. Very good work, Robin!...Thank you so much for the wonderful comments.
