Gershon Wolf Poet Light Verse

She Gets Her Way After All

The soup's too hot, honey
    and my drink's too cold
  The lettuce is wilted
    the avocado's old

  The soup took forever
    though the potatoes are still hard
  The brisket cooked so long
    it's completely charred ...

  It's alright, dear, a master chef you're not
    but you ARE the loveliest wife

  And in case you doubt me for a second
    I'm taking you out to dinner
      ~ every night of our married life
