Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

The Facts of Life For Men

When you marry a sweet gal
   you also marry
   her bossy sister
    and her frantic mother

You think - ha, ha!
   you'll live with your wife
   not with them --

Surprise!
   From these two relatives
   your problems will largely stem

Caren Krutsinger January 17, 2020 at 4:56 AM The "bossy sister" is so hilarious. I am dying here. Gershon Wolf January 17, 2020 at 12:29 PM Apparently you know of her existence! Smiles, Gershon

Tom Cunningham January 17, 2020 at 4:49 AM Haha spot on Gershon, won't say too much in case they read my comment lol. Tom Gershon Wolf January 17, 2020 at 12:28 PM Ha, ha, Tom! How about a soup mail, where you let it all rip?! Looking forward...

Kim Rodrigues January 16, 2020 at 9:19 PM All families have their characters! My husband and kids and I were alone for the longest time then my whole family (parents & siblings) moved into our vicinity. At the time I think my husband went pale...lol Gershon Wolf January 17, 2020 at 12:27 PM Poor man. Has he ever recovered his former skin color?! LOL. Thank, Kim! :) gw

Line Gauthier January 16, 2020 at 7:22 PM So very true - a package deal indeed. Well penned. Gershon Wolf January 16, 2020 at 7:51 PM And what a 'package' that turns out to be! LOL. Thanks, Line. Best always, Gershon

Ronald D Thompson January 16, 2020 at 4:36 PM Perfect!! So true. Best wishes...Ron :) Gershon Wolf January 16, 2020 at 6:19 PM Ah, a man after my own heart. Thanks, Ron! Best of everything, Gershon

Ilene Bauer January 16, 2020 at 4:11 PM so true, gershon! it sure does work both ways, though. i knew i'd be okay when my husband and i had a huge blowout with his mother right before our wedding and he sided with me. that remained the case throughout our marriage... Gershon Wolf January 16, 2020 at 6:19 PM You're right, methinks, as I 'm hearing from others... Guess my wife was just a lucky one that she didn't have to deal with my (somehwat) dysfunctional family much at all. Cheers, Gershon
