The Untamable Shrew
(This is meant as sort of a counterpoint to all the mushy sentiment of "Valentine Day.")
The Untamable Shrew
By Elton Camp
It’s ever harsh words and criticize
Always excused by endless lies
All he says and does is wrong
Every day the same old song
With outrage, she will say
“Why do YOU do this way!”
For him, it’s to be expected
Every word will be corrected
All decisions are her domain
His views, she will disdain
Whether a matter great or small
She has her way, on them all
Half a sentence he may get out
Before she interrupts with a shout
Daily misery is to be his life
Filled with unending strife
