Do and Don’t

My head is full of do and don’t
For I seldom say I won’t
I do not understand the need
For the specific’s of a deed

There’s not a moment on our way
She will not speak and have her say
It’s this way that way, right or left
When on a scale I’ve too much heft.

Opinions are her stock and trade
I think it’s some of what’s she’s made
There is no store that I can vie
She does not scream it is a lie

You ask me why I let it be?
I’ll answer you in point of re
I love the women and that’s the truth
It is the truth forsooth, forsooth

For if I once would tell her stop
A humpty dumpty would be the crop.

Good morning, Mr. T.!

Methinks that you prefer a strong-willed, strong-minded woman--or you wouldn't have stayed by her side for over 60 years! It seems that you had both found your match--and a fine one it has been at that! It's kept the pot bubbling!  

Luvs 'n hugs,
EA

*smiling at your humility, wisdom and grace*

my grandfather used to say, of my very strong willed and opinionated grandmother...

I'd go blind trying to change her mind. LOL

He said a lot of other things too...just not when she was in the room.   LOL

He was no Humpty!!

There's no changing a strong willed woman's mind Sy.
And yanno..I don't think you would want to.
Love this morning's read Sy.

Seymour, sounds like your Isabelle is sassy like most
of us women are. LOL But, I'll bet you're like Gary,
he calls me his "Sassy-Mae" and he says he wouldn't
have it any other way. HaHa!!
Go give your Isabellea a hug for me...and one for you....
