An Explanation

Marriage is great, so they say
And I'd like to concur in some way,
But my wife just up and left today,
So, I can't say much about that.

When we was wed, her family taunted
That she'd get the things she wanted.
They even said the house was haunted!
Now what kind of start was that?

I never asked for fancy dishes.
Burgers and fries is all I wishes.
I even let her clean the fishes!
Yuh can't ask for better 'n that.

I bought a sweeper for the rugs;
Cleaned the drain when it was plugged;
And there really weren't too many bugs.
Not too many places like that.

The glass-ribbed washer was the very best,
And hand-cranked clothes made little mess.
Why she left is anyone's guess.
I can't explain actions like that.

The outhouse seat was sanded well.
She ain't had a sliver in quite a spell.
Now she tells me to go t' hell!
I'm at a loss about that.

My advice to a prospective hubby:
It matters not if you're plain or chubby.
Just treat her right, and don't be grubby.
Now at least I know about that.
