The Poems I Write

The Poems I Write
by Bob Moore © 2016 
        
These poems come from my life, and are not about my wife
though she will not believe a word I say, 
I try to tell her so, but she doesn’t want to know
it’s because we are together every day

Your life and mine, so basically entwine
it’s hard to write things that do not include you
you’re there in the morning, just as the day is dawning
with a list of things, that you want me to do

first it is the weather, “it will be hot today”
so we’d better get the washing on the line
then maybe we should go, to the shops you know
you have your shopping list, and I have mine”

I get up and empty out the dishwasher, 
then I hang the washing on the line
make some toast, a cup of tea, one for her, and one for me
the sun is hot, it’s almost half past nine

I eat my breakfast, drink my tea, check my shopping list to see,
that everything I need is written down
it won’t be very much, some biscuits cake and such
the boring shopping is not up to me.

We go home and unpack all the shopping
that’s a chore that I don’t have to do
she decides where things go, I don’t really need to know
she’ll tell me if I ask, and just say “please”

So you see these poems, are all about my life
if you check back, I hardly mentioned my sweet wife
she is always there, and I would not trade
the one inside, her who must be, obeyed
