Second Childhood

Marriage is like your childhood
And learning to tie your shoe
Your wife is like your mother 
Telling you what to do

She picks out your clothes every day
And says when you can watch tv
She even buys your underwear
How embarrassing this can be

She makes you eat your vegetables
Even those nasty peas
You try to feed them to the dog
And hope she never sees

She makes you take out the garbage
Just like your mama did
It brings back all the memories
When you were just a kid

So when you say your wedding vows
Try to remember this
It becomes your second childhood
Instead of wedding bliss

A real chuckle. True but funny. Gotta go make her a cup of tea then do the dishes!
