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
