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.”
