The Contentious Wife

The Contentious Wife By Elton Camp Whatever hubby does, she will unload Because she’s always ready to explode It starts when she arises early in the day And all day long, it continues that way Although peace her poor hubby does want It’s “Condemned if you do, or if you don’t.” To offer any suggestion he sure does fear But, “You don’t care what goes on here.” When in an effort his wife’s favor to seek About most anything hubby dares to speak That is a mistake as he quickly comes to see “Shut up now and just leave things up to me.” The poor guy will just roll his eyes and sigh “It seems that there’s no use for me to try.” On the horizon he see storm clouds forming Once again, he prepares to endure storming If my wife should come to see this lament, “Honey, I swear for you it wasn’t meant.”
