Retired Husband, Tired Wife

When a man retires from working life, That’s when a full-time job gets his wife. The job of a day’s time Rewarding rare a dime, And as perks— life on edge rife with strife! ______________________________________________________ When I wrote this I wondered why it took me15 long years to pen a small ditty like this. But it is hard on men to confess truth. I’m sure all suffering spouses must be feeling somewhat like this. Yet, to be fair on me, I get all along solid firing from the new boss— much more than I might have received all of working career. _____________________________________________________ Tongue-in-cheek | 01.05.15 |
