Get Off Your High Horse Poem by John Sensele

Keep your promise
Keep your love clean
Under the best loyalty premise
To her never be mean

If perchance she treads on your toes
Cooks awful meals
She succeeds in putting your tatty trousers in ironing throes
Cos both of you ought to negotiate matrimonial ills and heels

Till death does you part
Mentoring her culinary skills
In matters of grooming give her a head start
Or you incur huge tantrum bills in sentimental stills

If indifference grows into your new normal
Pouting, shouting, doubting
Aural or oral, formal or informal
It makes no difference if you can't stop fighting

Teasing, deriving fun from the discomfiture
You inflict on her in the kitchen, in the living room
Sarcasm metamorphosing into a catcall culture
You groom into a booze boom

‘Tis pointless
Cruel
Heartless
Fetid fuel.
