War of the Sex'Es

War of the sex'es (Gram’s advice to newlyweds) Shame on all the “Momma’s boys” Wanting to have the upper hand So I am asking all my sisters To arise and take a stand. Their mothers all have Spoiled them by granting Every whim From ironing their socks To giving their hair A monthly trim So what's a bride to do To change their attitude? Just say "forget it pal" Whenever they’re "in the mood" Then we'll see how quickly They will pick up a mop or broom And wipe the floor in no time Chasing you around the room Boys…it doesn't take much effort To give her confidence a boost It takes TWO to make a marriage Only ONE to rule the roost! Would you rather be a King In your castle all alone Or sharing power with your Queen BOTH ruling from the throne!

When we got married my wife informed me that I would be asked to help clean the house, do the laundry, cook the meals. I learned how to do all of these. I informed her that she would learn how to work with power tools and how to maintain the lawn mower. She learned to do all of these. We have been hapily married for 33 years and we work togeather as a team on all projects. She even learned the rules to football and watches the game with me.
