Mohammad Taha Effendi Poet Light Verse

The Hen-Pecked Husband

"The Hen-pecked Husband"
By M. Taha Effendi

(Light Poetry)

The door bell rang yet again,
and yonder heard the distinct voice,
of my dear old wife, full of pain,
drowned all my dreams of rejoice.

then came the thundering slap,
that landed on my cheek now red,
and as I panicked out of my nap,
I realized I had wet my bed.

Between babies and old people the land fill sites must be hard to handle. How are you Taha, every so often I see your name and have to come and say hi to you. Hope all is well in your world! Luv, Lizzie
