An Ode To A Sports Wife





I ask, “Honey, how do I look?”
He says, “Sweetie, you look fine.”
All I wanted was some honesty,
Now I know he’s lying.

He never even looked my way,
His eyes were glued to the darn TV.
Something is happening to us,
He no longer notices me.

He always hurts my feelings.
I yell at him and get so mad.
Then he goes and insults himself,
To really make me feel bad.

He is forever saying I am stupid.
I do almost everything wrong.
But does he even remember,
What subject we were on?

Women are the one who are sorry,
If they get themselves in trouble.
They always leave the toilet seats up
And refuse to shave their stubble.

They seem to always complain and whine.
And frustrate us until we are blue.
And let’s face it girls, a lot of them,
Love their cars more than you!

I often wonder how it would be
If they had a bad case of P.M.S.
Would their personality really change?
It might even get worse, I guess.

Bet they would get it ten times worse!
Let’s be thankful they're just men,
And hit them with our feminine ways,
We can charm them into noticing us again.

I hate competing with a football game,
Or that dumb wrestling on the TV,
It is really sad when the one I love,
Loves golf more than he loves me.

~*~ All in fun guys ~*~






~*~ Tell someone you love them today, as tomorrow may never come ~*~

VERY PRECIOUS, Sharon!  This was exactly what the doctor ordered after an emotionally draining weekend...these smiles and laughs are priceless!  To the women out there afflicted with men this disorder..I say...leave them in the living room....log on, and join in some conversation with some people who have a life, and want to share it ~*~smiles~*~
((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))) and much love to you, dawn (~*~ A's...D ~*~)

Dawn: My feeble attempt of humor after hours of painstaking home decorating, never again, next time I pay for the labour!

I would have commented earlier but the game went into extra innings. Maybe if you dressed as a cheerleader.......

Been guilty of it myself I must say...However, when it came to realizing the gratitude of love that I had for that slighted individual then I came back to reality and kissed her fervently....and that was fun!!

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie

Richard: That would do it?  I should have thought of that long ago.

Lady in White: Pulled a few plugs in my day!  Thanks from playing in my sandbox.

Ethome: Hugged a few in my day too~and worked every time, as sometimes the shoe is on the other foot with this - I get into ice skating and no one can get through to me.
