Silence Is Golden

A lady who lived in Korea Had terrible verbal diarrhea Her hubby called Bill Said, “Keep your tongue still, Quit carping and bending my ear” Bill’s desperate for a lil’ peace But her acid tongue will not cease From morning to night He gets no respite From nagging needs some release Bill seeks advice from friend Odette She says, “Buy a gag as a threat” His wife takes the hint She desists, its mint Bill’s over the moon you can bet!

In my original poem I did have her gagged but on advice from a friend thought better of it and decided it wasn't PC so I re wrote it:-) hugs Jan xx

yeah my original poem was about using duct tape but i had second thoughts and though the 'threat' of a gag was a better deterrent for a nagging spouse lol:-) hugs Jan xx
