What Ever You Say Dear
When will it ever end? Do the pile-o-laundry clean the den!
His underwear are on the floor, yes, right outside the kitchen door?
Any normal human being knows to LIFT the seat when you’re peeing.
Then he screams “Where’re my socks honey?” and “Do you have any money?”
Every woman knows not to ask, men if they’re fat without the flask.
Vodka martini over here! “What ever you say, dear!”
Even though his necks a sixteen, you hide your **** behind stretch jeans
Remember honey when Buddy married us? I was five and on your bus.
You were so cute in your first day pants, and you fell for me with just one glance.
On the way home you carried my books. You didn’t care about all those looks.
Unlike others you never teased me. I thought it was ‘cause I let you squeeze me?
Shirts all washed and ironing a bore. Yikes there’s another one on the floor!
And Bobby can’t you just see us, the first time we TRIED? I wasn’t the first YOU lied.
You know honey, my friends all envied me. [God the bathroom, the throne and he.]
Darn, look at these shoes, sometimes I think we have the “I got Nothing Blues”
Even your Mom said I’m a great cook! "I can see that face don’t give me that look!”
Anyway hon, we had a good ride! Thirty years wasn’t so long with you by my side.
Right? Oh yes, it’s clear? [He hollers from upstairs.] “What ever you say, Dear!”
