One of These Wifes
Can I Hire a Wife

Deaf as she feels
Life is real

Can I hire a wife

Care on thoughts
Her own
Yes, a last resort

Can I hire a wife

No control, no anger, different person

Can I hire a wife

Laundry was what I did
Shrunk less than she did
But I cared
And didn’t put in a whole day
To be clean

Twice a day I showered
Until her cleaning made me stand
Dirty in my mind’s eye
In socks nestling my toes
After expanations
Of that is how it goes

When it is all the machines problem
But buy me another
And I’ve bought you these socks
Charity shop

Needs the support
Of moving stock


I need one of these wifes that fit in.

hehe, thinking the same thing here, only changing wife to husband...

I wish and pray so, people would associate love with allowance, care and understanding, and not using others.  


Hugs to you, and thank you for the expression of this.

I'd never survive if it was one of those.

The window cleaning, fixing plugs, leaking pipes and wearing the right dress for the wrong occasion would be the main point, which is where the socks came in or left.

It was pretty banal but at least if the shower twice a day - different on socks on both occasions, it is a paddle forward.

It does get the socks off.

And clean the shower when I'm finished.

Thanks all - been fun
