Yes Dear

"What ever you say Dear, "
He hasn't heard me at all.
It's his ready answer
Whenever I call.

I told him this morning,
I told him last night.
I told him so often
We almost had a fight.

"Please do come home early,
And stop at the store.
I've made a list for you,
I'll call if there's more."

He can't figure out what I do
All the day while he works.
A wife who runs errands,
Should be part of the perks.

My life should be easy
Just me and the kids.
If I take my eyes off one,
Law and Heaven forbids.

Three strollers, three car seats,
How hard can that be?
"Well if you say so, Darling,
Try it once and you'll see."


For Francine's contest  received hm

LOL Reminds me of the movie "Mr. Mom," Joyce. Men think they have it rough going off to work each day, but all they need to do is switch places with their wives and they'll be glad to just deal with work. It seems I've been missing some of your poems lately and I'm sorry. Had the "poor me" attitude on Valentine's Day, but a nice man called and talked to me about going fishing sometime. Hope springs eternal. The poem on men and directions was born of experience! Love, Carolyn

"whatever" is used so loosely today. To show this same kind of unconcern you expressed so well in this cute little poem, Joyce. OH, and I have to keep looking for your Spencerian sonnet!
