My man is so clever

I'm ever so proud.

I n'er miss a chance

To praise him out loud.

 

If he frowns when I cook

I'm sure I'd agree

That things taste much better

When he makes the tea.

 

The house is so messy?

Oh dear me, that's true.

The place is a palace

When tidied by you.

 

I know I'm not good

At finding the street

Or parking in tight places

So you do it, Sweet.

 

You're ever so clever,

This bill's got me beat.

My poor silly brain

Can't make the ends meet.

 

You're awfully strong

So you mow the lawn

And trim all the hedges.

I value your brawn.

 

I'm sorry the collar

Of your shirt comes apart.

Perhaps if you iron it

You'll look very smart.

 

You say you've got arm pain

You feel a bit queer.

I'm sure if you keep up

you'll be all right, Dear.

 

I'm lucky to have you

A smart man like you.

But now I need focus

I've some writing to do.

This made me laugh right out, Jean.  I can so relate to this, I thought I had written it in my sleep!  A lovely piece to read first thing and brighten up the day!

Not so silly, Jean. Brilliant poem and funny. I did worry, though, when she wasn't concerned about him possibly having a heart attack, but then she did have something to be to be getting on with, and perhaps it was only a 'man flue' type ailment. 

Clever poem, Jean.

At least I was better at bridge than he was.

Enjoyed this Jean, and made me smile.

Saying 'you do it so much better than me' is sometimes a good way out of jobs.

Thanks fatboyfat and Lindy

He enjoyed lots of the jobs - so it wasn't as odd as it sounds.

Love the way I was kept pondering between the two :-) Cute with the created rhyming which swings me towards the sarcasm ;-) Nice work $

Hi Shannan

How nice of you to find this poem in my old work and read it and comment on it. I had fun writing it.

Quite fun, Jean. I never notice cobwebs, I'm not tall enough to be bothered by them, especially when I'm thinking of a verse! Good to be able to share jobs! Rhiannon

Thanks Rhiannon

I do so miss him. There were very few things that he couldn't do and yet he was always very supportive of my feeble efforts.

I'm sure, Jean. I was insensitive as this was written of before. My husband is very practical, unlike me and can easily get on with things I've forgotten, and I try now not to think he's telling me off for not doing those things, he just so easily slips them in! And I must appreciate that while I have it. Rhiannon

Trusting that the heartsore-ness of missing Your Man is more bare-able these days, and that you know how blessed you are to have had such incredible times in your life :-)
