Poems - Knowing Where I Stand
| | Knowing Where I Standby liarbird
So she wanted the bloody lawn mowed,
Before it had started to rain,
But the footy is there on the telly,
So I put off the mowing again.
Then the house became suddenly silent
and a cool frost has invaded the air,
At least I can watch football in peace…
It’s like there’s nobody else with me there.
And when the game was over and won
I dragged myself up off the couch
To do the right thing by mowing the lawn
but can’t ‘cause it’s raining…oh ouch!
And so sheepishly back to the telly
I plonked myself down onto a seat
and I waited for my evening meal
that my wife was preparing, to eat.
And still I felt the silent treatment,
I know that it would have been pain,
But I realise the mistake that I made
I should have mowed out in the rain
Then I thought I must have been mistaken
for her sweet voice brought on relief
“What would you like for dinner, sweetie,
chicken, lamb or some succulent beef?"
So I sniffed and I took a deep breath
with a feeling the world is now right
And I shouted from the lounge room,
“I wouldn’t mind chicken tonight.”
But once again frost filled the air,
“Is that right you damn useless rat
but you’re having soup and stale bread
as it happened I spoke to the cat.”

Love and chicken and football just don’t seem to mix with growing grass.
Have a grand tomorrow…Jack

As much as a man likes to believe that sport has a priority on the weekend, he can be quickly brought back to earth...

g'day Paul...
As an old friend of mine used to quote before his wife threw him out - why do today what you can leave for tomorrow.
Cheers Paul.

G'day Bonnie...
Yes Bonnie...I think I'll give the cat house a miss. I won't even get soup is I don't...perhaps cold shoulder and hot tongue might be on the menu though.
Thanks Bonnie

Great anecdote!
Still can't crack the mystery of why such thngs are a big deal to some women. Nevertheless, they are usually right.
Cheers.

G'day Pete...
There is no doubt whatsoever. A woman is always right...even when she is wrong. I can't believe I wrote this.
Thanks mate for leaving a comment.
