When A Husband And Wife Are Stubborn Poem by Hebert Logerie

When a husband and wife are stubborn
They find themselves in trouble
They see everything in double
At sunset, everything is being torn
Double trouble, double problems
Double mistakes, double memes
Double confusion, double messes
Double faults and double curses
One steadfastly stands his ground
While the other sends the wrong sound
All problems are multiplied manifold
Husband and wife become very cold
Hostilities take over and verbal violence
Is growing, domestic violence is near
Love vanishes and hatred, like a crazy deer
Is running throughout the household
Glasses and plates are broken, mold
Is at all corners of the filthy house
Every so often a creepy and pesky mouse
Comes to visit. Lawyers' appointments
Are confirmed. Distress and disappointments
Rule. They're living like two stupid mules
Anything goes. No hello, no goodbye, no rules
It's time to get a divorce and to go to Court
Avoid more headaches; life is too short
It is deadly to be strong headed and stubborn
Husband and wife are worse off and badly torn
Husband and wife are sadly wounded to the cores
The house has no roof, no windows and no doors
Bad things happen, negative vibes loomed in
Nothing is all right, and everything is unclean
Ignorance is very expensive, stubbornness is mephitical
Meanwhile knowledge and patience are highly beneficial.
