The Difference Between Husbands and Wives

A wife drops a sock on the floor, she bends down to pick it up and sees another sock under the bed and crawls under to retrieve it. She notices some dust has accumulated so she goes and gets the vacuum and broom to clean it up. While she has those out, she cleans the rest of the floors. A husband sees a sock on the floor and kicks it under the bed.

Men are still alive
because they moves the big stuff
and change flat tires

LOL, I must be a wife, Jerry. Description fits like a glove. :-) I like your Haibun, it does describe a typical husband and wife reaction to finding a sock on the floor. Nice writing, my friend. Good to see you posting again. I'll catch up more tomorrow and try to get a couple of poems posted myself. Have a pleasant evening, my friend. Bill

Thanks Bill. Looking forward to reading your poems again. Funny how life has a way of changing the best plans with its own agendas.

A very good poem. The wife isn't me. I use every excuse to get out of housework. Why do you think I write poetry?
