I Don't Want to be a Nag All my life I have wanted a man to stand by my side never wanted to be a naggin' ne'er wanted to be a pain I come a loyal bundle my family and love I will defend But, don't do extra housework nor clothes do I mend Often wondered if men believe that women are their personal valet - ne'er seen such babies as men getting ready for work ne'er seen such helplessness' as men that can't cook Each of my sons have been taught to cook, sew and clean and hopefully their wives will be forever grateful to me ne'er had a man who picked up after himself, oh, sure the first few months, then it starts again no ne'er wanted to be a naggin' but it happened to me again I don't lie when we first meet I tell them I will not fall at their feet I will not be an adoring puppy with their wish at my command but will be their loyal companion and very good friend But still they decide to come along and fall in love with me ----and I wonder with all the women in the world that they could choose, why in the world do they pick me? I don't walk on eggs, or tip toe with what I say I want a man who is my partner - not a baby in disguise - And if he wants my faithful love and a wife who is very wise he best share with me things that are happening in his life Yet, still I end up unhappy and find I have chosen wrong and so in life, I take each day one day at a time - ne'er a tear for love have I shed -- My heart's been shut for a long, long time ne'er met that one true love that we are supposed to find though I know he's out there I am learning I don't really care cuz, I have enough work to do and more if he is here All the arrows can't touch me all the lies and deceit are gone I love to be alone writing all 'bout love's siren songs and once in awhile I hear a song "I am a man who does my own laundry, do you wanna come along?" And, darn if I don't get fooled again, to that yearning of love's heart's song netswan < !signature--> Teresa King www.tipsfortop.com [This message has been edited by netswan (edited 05-05-2000).] |

Teresa - I love this one! Jeffrey's right, though...there aren't many of us out there. Too bad I'm happily married, LOL! But, I guess that wouldn't matter, cuz siblings can't marry anyway. Thanks for another wonderful piece, Sister! {{{HUGS}}}  Troy Beautiful, Thought-Provoking Poetry http://www.h-systems.net/p1.htm |

Lots of truth in them lines...I enjoyed reading your thoughts on that subject...I can understand why women would nag...or become dissolutioned or frustrated. James |
