Wife Precious

This is the wife’s rejoinder to my earlier post – HUSBAND. Of course, both are written with male and female perspectives and are a figment of my imagination.



I thought I married a scrupulous, true gentleman,
how did he ever become a sly, conniving ‘yes’ man?

When did he ever buy me a real precious stone?
All he does is buy the cheapest American clone

My husband believes he’s as funny as they come 
I humour him all along, in front of his adoring mom

He thinks he wears the proverbial pants at home
I let him be, as long as he is willing to stay home

Not that his company is preferable to that of women
Once outside, at women he’ll gawk, men will be men

All his show and admittance of love is just a farce 
Most men are narcissistic and selfish, love is scarce

I had expressed many a time my undying love for him
He says I am a good actor, and I should do well in a film
 
He’s romantic though, but always at the wrong time
His spirits, high during dinner, are out before bedtime

Let me say the most truthful thing ever, however
The truth that takes root, lasts in our heart forever

Neither man nor woman is complete in all aspects
Only together they can be complete in all respects
