Amused

(humour from old archives)

so many fingers in so many pies
leads to a stream of deception and lies
so what does he tell you about his dear wife
of course she is nothing but trouble and strife
who tarries with others while he stays at home
longing her presence while he's on his own
so you think you are special I'm telling you this
he's taking advantage he's taking the pisx

Wow, you often hear the wife complaining about the husband, not really the husband complaining about the wife. But here, I see a working wife and the husband stays at home. Why? Not sure. The husband is jealous of the wife because she spends time outside I the presence of others while he has only himself. Jealousy and anger is the death of all relationships. Thanks for sharing Chris, was definitely an interesting read, making me wonder what situation this could be about!

Thanks Aura and for allowing your mind to wander. That is the beauty of poetry. There will always be a myriad of interpretations.

So he's a lonely "house husband"? I'm not sure where this was going or went. Maybe it's something topical? Or maybe it's a made up spiel of some guy in a bar using his current relationship as a pick-up line. I have trouble figuring out the obvious sometimes. But I'm thinking he's probably a cad.

Hello Fabian. Clearly not a favourite. It is doggerel for sure and represents British sense of humour in the carry on style. I thank you sincerely for giving these lines your attention. I did post a couple more today which may have been more to your liking
All the best.

Oh, I did not "dislike" the piece. I just had a bit of trouble understanding it and the direction it was headed. My apologies if my review was misconstrued. But I'll certainly check out some of your others. Blessings of peace and light.

Fabian, I may have misconstrued your response, so for that I apologise and I know you have visited some of my other poems as well, so want to say a very big thank you:)

I have loads of scribbles too, mant from my first books that i haven't posted on here.... when you look back at them you realize how your style has changed . Maybe i will post some .... my pen has been dry for so long it might be an idea

[Chris Shaw]

I was quite surprised at how many I have. Some of them need a tweak but others are ready to go. Every now and then my muse does humour. I quite like that:)

[Stella Armour]

[Chris Shaw]

[Stella Armour]

[Chris Shaw]

Just visited :)

Oh my! Well here is something new and different from you! What a surprise and what a great write! Of course I would have loved to hear more juicy details but I think you gave this enough to let our minds wander into the soap opera world, not that I watch them but I am not one to turn an ear to juicy rumors. I then let them go though, not healthy to linger in such a world but it is spicy!

[Chris Shaw]

Thanks Patricia. I posted Optional Answers recently which is in a similar vein (tongue in cheek) and found this older one while sorting out older scribbles. My muse said get it posted :) Made me smile when I read it again.
