I’ll not be a good husband because…
I do my laundry by myself
there’s perpetual order on my shelf
I fold my clothes… pant, shirt, singlet
there’s no pinching odour in my toilet
I’ll be a terrible husband because….
I cook my food, it’s rarely bought
there’s no sign of soot on my pot
I make my bed and mop my floor
there’s no boxer hanging on my door
and my wife won’t enjoy me because…
I hate skimpy skirt
I complain about dirt
Too much make-up I hate
I hate exposed breast-plate
I do not drink, smoke or roam
I prefer to stay inside my home
I…
Please, what are the qualities
of a good husband? What activities
must I do to prepare myself….
I’ll start with disorder… a scattered shelf!
This poem was written after a conversation between an unmarried man and an unmarried woman. The woman felt the man will not make a good husband because he is ‘too domestic’.
This is good. I like the rhymes and the simplicity
Hmmm!
Guess we are all afraid of anything outside the usual.
Ironic, but most ladies fear a supposedly perfect man who is just merely primed and disciplined.
It is true. So what shuould such men do?
