Don't Mention It Poem by Kim Barney
Don't Mention It
When she leaves the lid off the toothpaste
Don't mention it.
Just put it back on
and do that again
and again
until the toothpaste's gone.
When she overcooks the steak,
Don't mention it.
When she undercooks the cake,
Don't mention it.
When she forgets to flush,
When her lateness makes you rush,
When her comments make you blush,
Don't mention it.
When she does something right,
Tell her so.
When she makes your day seem bright,
Tell her so.
When you always think about her,
When you have no cause to doubt her,
When you cannot live without her,
Tell her so.
If these comments you enjoy,
And there are some you might employ
To bring your wife more joy,
You're welcome. Don't mention it.

here is a stanza i THINK YOU FORGOT! ! ! When her tummy's upset and she has heartburn, be the partner to whom she can, with hope, turn. It's then you need to rush to the Rx store, and.... and yell: Give me acid reflux pills! I'll take FOUR! DID I WIN? i WON, didn't i! ! ! ! ! ! ? ? ? ? ? ?
What did you think you had won, Bri? Did I have a contest going on at the time I posted this? Anyway, you obviously didn't win anything. Sorry.
This make me laugh but I like it very much something is so true there
.......Trick of the trade! If a man can follow this advice, sure you have won her heart! Entertaining and enervating with a pinch of truth!
Thank you, Valsa. Sorry I didn't get around to responding while you were still active on this site.
A good strategy to adopt in married life to bring harmony Enjoyed the touch of humour and the satire between the lines Thanks for sharing
