She Never Nags, Argues, Or Asks For Money

She Never Nags, Argues, or Asks for Money

By Elton Camp

She always quietly lets me have my way
Without even a single contrary word to say

My plans for the day she does not disrupt
And whatever I say she’ll never interrupt

She never gets mad and runs home to mother
She pays not the least attention to any other

Not one time has she asked to go out to eat
Or made any complaint about cool or heat

A budget she doesn’t expect me to supply
And gifts for her there is no reason to buy

Any expensive make-up she doesn’t buy
And costly perfume she won’t ever try

She never once has said that I over drink
Or that at some blonde my eye did wink

I am always free to do exactly as I please
Who could have things better than these

Guys, if you think this would be great
Just go buy you a doll that will inflate

Hey Ilene, I can see where it could fit a pet all right. The inflatable doll idea just jumped into my head from some unknown source and so that's the direction this one took. I am trying to write about a lot of different things and to offer some alternatives to all the "doom and gloom" that so often characterizes poetry. Thanks for your comment. Elton
