Henpecked Free Poem by Randy McClave

She will call you sweetheart and then honey,
Then she will tell you how to spend your money;
And then what you can do, and what you cannot!
So, you agree with her, as it’s a fight worth not fought.
A woman like that will never break my spirit,
And I don’t care to say it, and from me she will hear it,
If she doesn't like the way that I live my life;
No longer does she have to be my girlfriend, or my wife.
I work hard for my money and it’s mine for me to keep,
I am not a rich man, but neither am I cheap,
I have bought what we needed, and she will never want;
And never have I asked her to be my slave or a servant.
I have said this once, and I will say this again and again,
Never will I cheat on her, and against her never will I sin;
So if you dare ever tell me what I can or cannot do,
I will tell you to pack your bags, and then goodbye to you.
