The Nagging Wife (Tag Game)
My wife just keeps nagging
"You've got work to do"
I say, honey, can't it wait
Til my poem is through?
She says, "You're writing again?,
That's all you get done"
I don't think she realizes
That poetry is fun
"Words, words, words
That's all you ever think"
"You even wrote one.
Telling people I stink"
"There's work around here
That you've somehow missed"
"But I'll make you out
Another, Honey do list"
I think I'm an artist
But she just don't know it
So I'll tell her once more
That, I am a poet
(For the Tag Game, I am a Poet, passed to me by John Loving iii, I pass it to Ralph Taylor)
