Is this the man I married?
The one whose life I share?
The one whose “sock is missing”,
and whose “vests are never there”.
Who never fails to ask me
“go find my glasses dear”.
Or “is the dinner ready,
we’re all hungry over here?”
Why can’t you wash the dishes,
or even make the tea?
I’d like to see you dusting
dear,instead of watching me.
A Valentine? forget it;
the same one every year.
There's really just one message
that I have for you, now hear -
You can get your flipping shirt,
and sew that button on it.
I’m really far too busy.
I have to write a sonnet.

Heh, I'm VERY sure my spouse has sentiments along these lines except it's writing the sonnets that causes the friction. Hmmm... and I'm always elected to find her glasses because, without them, she can't see! Har! A poem that strikes so close to home. Congrats on silver!

I like it ...
but you might want to fix the "who's":
Is this the man I married?
The one who’s life I share? (whose life I share)
The one who’s “sock is missing”, (whose sock is missing)
and who’s “vests are never there”. (whose vests are never there)
Other than that, this is a very good poem. Well done and done well.
