Hi Debra:

Oh I do love the humor and irony here! (I think this trait is a requirement for ALL husbands, it is listed in their handbook somewhere lol) You paint this so well with the preaching a sermon and then the king of the road comparisons. Pointing things out to them never does much good (but it sure makes us feel better!)

Great job!

Kim

LOL!!! We all have them, Debra, I stopped the car and got out in the middle of a busy high street once, and told my husband he could drive it home, I caught the bus!! I know, I cut my nose to spite my face, it was bl--dy raining! Love it, and it brought back such a tender memory, LOL! xsx Sandra

Hehe! Are you a bit hot-headed, Sandra?! Or was he just being particularly obnoxious?!
Thank you for your feedback :) Much love, Debra xx

Hi Debra. An excellent poem on the "little" things that aggravate us in our closest relationships. You can be thankful he wasn't whistling! I like the use of (.) throughout, emphasizing how irksome the situation was--akin to gritting the teeth. Good job. Marilyn

Hi Marilyn, thank you so much for your great feedback. I appreciate it :) I think it would have finished me off if he'd been whistling too! Lol. Best wishes, Debra x

Well, mine whistles mindlessly. I have to make him stop it. I usually say--"are you whistling a happy tune?" He gets the message and stops. Says he doesn't even realize he's whistling.

Re your notes, Debs - there's no such thing as a MALE 'back seat driver' - they are observant helpful instructors who are there to avoid the female driver getting constantly lost and crashing into things. HAHAHA!

LOL at the female who stores everything said for future revenge, I mean, 'use' - how unusual...yer, right. LOL.

Thanks for the great fun read, my witty friend.

Cheers, Ray xx

I think I have an inkling now
of the inspiration for yesterday's
poem :-(

I am very fortunate when it comes
to husband/wife "driving lectures".
We both drove professionally and
have complete faith in each other's
abilities. I hear that's not always the
case.

Loved your formatting, with the
emphatic use of periods!!!

Hi Lorraine :) thanks for your great feedback. You're lucky to have that mutual respect when it comes to driving ;)
The day before's poem was actually based on a catalogue of unfortunate happenings...not affecting me so much as close friends...Just felt helpless, hate seeing those I love, hurting.
Best wishes, Deb x

I love how you divided this up into two distinct parts! The word economy is great is showing the sort of being "short" and the tension that was happening!
The best part was the ambiguity of
"commit each. and. every. word.
to memory,
storing it
for future reference."

First this sounds like "sure, I'll really try to do netter next time"
But then it becomes... "I'll need to remember to be able to get back... I know I'll have my turn"

LOL!
So well done!

Hi J, thanks for your great feedback.... Yesterday's journeys really did fire up my muse!
I'd just like to apologise for not keeping up with reviews...life is really taking over right now, struggling to find the time to write a poem a day never mind keep up with reviews and replies - feel bad for letting folks down :(
Hope you understand.... Best wishes, Debra x
