The Kitchen

The Kitchen

My wife’s never seen our kitchen!
It’s like it doesn’t exist
She walks right past it and heads to the garage
If she put kitchen into her GPS, it would explode
She’s going to a restaurant!

When we were apartment hunting, her single most
important criterion was LOCATION!
And that’s great 
but for her it’s location to restaurants!
She always picks a second floor apartment
just above one

At night, while relaxing in front of the TV,
She gets up;
I say “Where are you going”
She says, “I’m heading downstairs
for a snack”

That’s the only kitchen she knows

I know what you’re thinking, I’m on a roll!
Wrong! SHE”S on a roll, 
                 at least a half dozen by now! 

Yeah, you may think, this is funny
and ask me
Where have I been hiding my humor all my life?
Well, it’s been in our kitchen
No one ever goes in!!

Fortunately I am a good cook and serve better than what restaurants do! Nice poem with lovely humour! Hope it is not true and your wife serves you with some extraordinary dishes!

Very funny, Mike. I love your line about going downstairs for a midnight snack. Next time you move you might want to check out the location of vegetarian restaurants. LOL
