Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

My Wife Never Complains

My wife is a woman who never complains
  She's up before five to make the 6 a.m. train

When I spill food on my shirt, she removes the stain
  Her feet always hurt, but she handles the pain

She's raised two teen-agers without going insane
  She puts up with my infirmities, life in the slow lane

Her wardrobe's modest; she's never been vain
  Eats reasonable portions, fruits and veggies and grains

And unlike 'Lady Luna,' who waxes and wanes
  The smile on my wife's face ~ forever's etched in my brain
