Ten Things I Love (and She Hates)

I love ten things.
Cricket is one of those
but if I say “ wicket”
it gets up her nose.
I also love reading
so she calls me pathetic
because she thinks
I ought to be athletic.
When I use my laptop
I see her attitude harden.
It’d be better, she says,
if I weeded the garden.
She accuses me
of having a ‘beer belly’
because I drink lager
and love watching the telly.
I would love to write
a Booker Prize book,
marry Miss World
or become a great cook.
Perhaps be a singer
yet I can’t sing for toffee.
One thing we agree on
is a good strong coffee.
I could be an artist
or practice law
but If I mention it
she’ll only guffaw.
There are many things
that I’d like to treasure
but she’s determined
to deny me the pleasure.
My dreams gush forth
from a cornucopia
yet according to her
they are simply Utopia.

Very funny poem, Luigi! I enjoyed it!
Now you can do the opposite such as: 10 things she loves and I hate....
I am waiting, Luigi, con gusto..

Clever - I'm sure that many could sympathise with this. Probably her too.
