This is another poem that will I am sure, get me into trouble. Seems this cowboy just can't leave well enough alone, but my wife is the most wonderful person to write about, it is never a dull moment with her! I wrote this in Colorado, and new snow, (about 2 ft of it), had just fallen, and it was bedtime, and the snow had stopped falling, and when I say it was zero degrees outside, I literally meant it. It was so cold, my glass of water on the end table was frozen solid when I woke up in the morning...it was ......well.....freezing. Hope this makes you smile.
Laughing At My Wonderful Wife Christine
I really never understood, what has caused,
That horrible thing called "Men 'O' Pause",
It's something which women seem to suffer,
Seems to make them, so much, tougher!
If you get that hot, Why wear those clothes?
Shorts and tank tops,
Is what you should be in!!
Then it's "The Look" that she gives me,
And without even a grin,
I quit while I'm ahead,
Conversation's at an end!!!
Tossing and turning, in our bed,
She throws off the covers,
Covering my head.
"I Can't breath", I say,
"Are you hot"? I ask.
Puts her feet on my back,
And kicks me out, on my a**!!
"Your putting off heat",
She said with a moan,
Turns on the fan,
Freezing me to the bone!!!
Opens the sliding door,
Zero degrees outside,
I dive under the covers,
So I can keep warm, and hide!!!
On and off go the covers,
All night long,
I can't go to sleep,
This is all wrong!
I asked the doc,
"How long will this last?
"Will she ever get over it,
Will it ever pass"?
"Nope", he said,
Just rubbin' his chin,
Tonight it will start,
All over again!!
Sigh...........

Top-level comments on this article: (4 total)Gary! Gary! Gary! I am hoping you have a comfy couch! I can tell from the overwhelming responses that others realize you don't mess with a menopausal woman! hahaha! Well-written poem. . .you are a very brave man!!Laura, you're right, Gary is asking for it...I hope he gets it hard...LOLWow, I'm impressed Christine...you were the one that I knew would respond, but that wasn't so bad...I want to take the time to let you know, that I know, and we both know, that you wanted to say more. But you, being the wonderful person you are, just let it be. Seriously, I really appreciate your commenting on this, and I am very grateful for your comments and support. Your pal, and fan, and friend in pen......GaryWonderful person... heee...heeee...he!Gary, the real reason I let go on this one is that I just made 44 and don't know when I am going to have that experience -- or even if I will. There are some "African things" we eat and do to make the transition very smooth...:-) I think that it'd be condescending and insulting for me to speak for other women on a serious issue I know nothing about... that's the only reason you didn't get from me.You'll get it from me, promise! It's not very woman-like but I can't help myslef...LOL!
Oh Laura, I just came out with this one....I'm sure I will get a flood of responses real soon, especially when Christine reads it, she will let me have it, lol. But hey, I only write about the truth, and my wife laughed at this one, and she says "oh, I remember that"!! lol....Thanks for reading and commenting on this I really appreciate your support, I see you come out with a new one, I will have to check it out....Your pal, and friend in pen, and fan..........GaryGary, I am trying so hard to be a lady/woman on this one… I figured it out on my own that that "bring-it-on!" thingie is making me too man-ish. I’m on sabbatical trying to get my woman-groove back on, so that we’re different once again... hehehe - he! See, I don’t even do hahahha anymore… uh-uh, not womanly!Christine, I for one certainly never ever would question your womanhood, as a matter of fact, I will go one step further, and say that you are a credit to your sex/gender. and I am totally in sync with that, and I did notice the Hee..hee. part, and it is indeed quite feminine I must say. But in my "manly" way, I have to say, that I love the feisty way about you too, that you, being the strong person you are...have no problems expressing your opinion, especially one that usually, leaves me very apoligetic, that doesn't happen that often to this ole cowboy! So thanks, for letting me off the hook on this one...hahahahaahhahaa, (insert manly laughter here), Your pal, and friend, and fan in pen.....Gary
Gary, my friend, what can I say?Ken, hahahhaahhaha that just about sums it up....lol. Well, after all, this is based on something that actually happened. hahahahhaaha, oh well, its a dirty job, but someone has to do it....lol. I appreciate your comments, along with your wonderful support, you are a real pal.....your friend in pen, and fan.......Gary. By the way, I loved the last article you wrote about your wife, and I love what she wrote after that, I can certainly see the love between you two.........cherish it as I know you both will......
Gary, do you have a dog house?Excellent job as usual :-) Blessings to your wife, but I think you need them more this time around. ha! Teresa
