Painful Questions

What painful questions wives can ask,
so finding the right answers can be a task.

How to make your husband feel distraught,
must be something all daughters are taught.

For you often wonder what they want you to say,
especially when the topic area is gray. 

But say something wrong and you’ll be dead,
expect to be sleeping on the sofa bed.

The usual snare is how do I look tonight,
safely say beautiful and you’ll be all right.  

Then she will ask if it appears she has gained weight,
lie if you have to and say she looks great.

There is one question you must elude,
for it could cause a serious feud.

Do you think that woman over there is pretty,
but don’t try and answer with something witty.

Because she will assume the answer is yes,
but likewise control the urge to confess.

No matter what you do or try,
she’ll always believe it is a lie.

So just accept the fact that you can’t win,
because of painful questions women ask men.
