Sonnet 28 My Sweet Love Does Keep An Orderly House

Rating: 5.0


My sweet love does keep an orderly house
Her tidy kitchen is her pride and joy
‘Tis swept clean, no dust not even a mouse
With her rolling pin, her favourite toy
Which she claps when with cross swords we do row
When I fail to become her favourite boy
And to keep the peace I do take a bow,
When with a peaceful tongue I then employ.
But those cross swords are few and far between
And most of our time spent we are happy
With our love we do paint a pretty scene
Except when it is my turn to change a nappy.
Oh, the cup of life can be a strange brew
One minute up the next down, how so true.

An orderly house is a reflection of one's internal state; a beautifully written poem by a man who knows how to keep the peace. And to keep the peace I do take a bow.
