My wife is sick
Oh Lord, O my!
What will I eat
What if I die!

I can’t boil water
You think it’s a joke
Not if you saw
The pan and the smoke

Wait! (Whew) I’m the man
I’ve instincts ingrained
Least cuz my wife
Has me sorta half trained

Maybe I’ll try
A hamburger mix
Or kids tested kix
Mother behooved
Or a bowl of trix
For kids never proved

All my children’s
Fruit roll up snacks
Hide the wrappers
Cover the tracks

O wait, the kids are starvin
What will I feed ‘em
Timmy get the phone book
Pizza numbers please read em

My wife she smiles
That’s blessed matrimony
She knows that I know
She likes double pepperoni

THE END

LOL ... what a fun read Walt, boy can I relate to that one. Since our move from one house to the other, my hubby doesn't know where to even find a frying pan anymore (and we've been here 5 months!) I enjoyed the visuals in this one ... thanks for the grins!  

I hope your wife is feeling better soon ....

Best wishes,
/Kit
