Of Course Sweetheart for my friend Mike

a poem in rhyming quatrains

 

 

 

Of course sweetheart.

 

She rules the roost behind the scenes.

Although her husband wears the jeans.

She lets him show he is the boss

 but there are lines he dare not cross.

 

 For all his manly macho show

 she knows it’s only bravado.

 More importantly so does he

which he accepts apparently.

 

He knows quite well who’s in control

but still he plays his public role.

 She treats him deferentially

whilst there’s an audience to see.

 

Like any man who’s seen the light.

He knows that she is always right.

Her slightest wish is his command

which isn’t hard to understand.

 

He’s not the tough guy he appears

She has been training him for years.

He knows: She knows, he knows she knows

His public image is a pose.

oh yea who rules the roost
quite obliviously written by a man
a woman who knows her salt
is quite worthy of a man who poses
but she knows who rules the roost
yes i like it. was very well written
