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
