The Perfect Wife

I think they should change the wedding vows
We'll keep honor and obey
But I have a few of my own to add 
And here is what they'd say

Do you promise to tell this man
He's as handsome as can be
And will you let him watch his football
Every Sunday on tv

An will you promise everyday 
To make him breakfast in bed
And put your mom in a old folk's home
When she wants to move in instead

Do you promise to rub his feet
Every night when he gets home
And bring him the evening paper
While he relaxes on the throne

Will you promise not to ask him 
If you're gettin fat
Will you let him hide the credit cards
And not ask him where they're at

And promise when he tells you no
You'll never ask him why
Don't make him watch a chick flick
And never ever cry

If they'd use these words I've added
It could change our life
I'd be the perfect husband
And you, the perfect wife

You got my vote. I'm with you. Don't think there's a snowballs chance but I'm all for it.
