Just Because I Said I Do

Just Because I Said I Do Oh this war tween man and fem Makes so many lift the sword Turn it into poison pen Telling all is their reward He done me wrong She will say He wasn’t strong He had to stray She left me for another man I was good, I wasn’t rough I try to do the best I can But in the end not good enough Is always out with his mate Leaving me at home alone Coming in, drunk and late Telling me, not to moan Always late with my meals Oh was she a big mistake Never puts out what appeals I live on cereal and cake I wish him, I’d never chose Is plain for anyone to see Chides coz I don’t iron his clothes And loves the dog more than me All she thinks is, self, self self While I’m working really hard Forgets I took her off the shelf She won’t get no Christmas card He thinks that I can’t drive a car Always saying what to do Someday he’ll take it way to far I’ll look at him and say, “Screw you” It started off in wedded bliss Now it seems there’s no discourse How could it have come to this? See you in court, for the divorce. I’m having the dog.. No you’re not . Yes I am. No. Yes. No. Yes. No………… This is purely fictitious and I have never said she can’t drive a car, at least not while moving in a forward direction … hahaha

good one, Richard. I enjoy reading this kind of poem!! It kind of reminds me a wee bit of my take on that new contest subject: men are in heaven whose wives scold not, a poem I might not post because it is so lame!! But anyway, this one was a hoot.

FEMs rule...and are ALWAYS right. Men are clueless....always were...always will be! ;) There....the truth is out. If you're interested...I can send you a link to a very interesting view of how male and female brains work! We have wires...you have boxes...and guess what? Men actually have an EMPTY box among all the others! Oh it's a hoot! The one who presents is a MALE btw...so his word is gold. Oh...teasing your woman about her driving. SHAME ON YOU, MR SEAL!
