When of the wife I do speak,
I only say with tongue and cheek.
For all that watches from above,
She's the only one I truly love.


A LITTLE TALK

I had a budgie,
That talked a little.
Then a parrot,
That talked a lot.

Then I had a wife,
Who's constant jawling.
Drive's me insane,
If I could it all again.

As if for marriage,
You could have acquittal.
I wish I could have a budgie,
That only talked a little.

I have no budgie or parrot... but I do have a talking cat. I can listen to her trilling all day. :) Having said that, I think we ALL need to find those moments of peace and quiet in solitude - even away from our spouses - for a few minutes each day. If you can find that, and preferably within Nature, the recharge makes everything new again. :)
Just listen to me! Rabbiting on when all I needed to say was " I know where you are coming from!"
