Have I not said enough times before?
Do you really want to hear it some more?
I was out ,with a friend, at the club.
We got drinking , he asked for a sub,
Till he gets paid it's only three days away,
He was my best man what could I say?
I'm sorry I'm under the thumb,
the wife only lets me have one rum?
O.K. so you think it's a risk,
was there a need to hit me with a whisk?
When i fell over on the kitchen floor,
was there a need to kick me some more?
I'll put steak on the eye, say tripped on the cat,
The lads will believe me say, you clumsy pratt,
but when this is all over I'm cutting you loose,
I never signed up for no spousal abuse.

It is rare to hear of a poem speaking of
spousal abuse from the husbands point of
view. This was done in a light hearted
way, almost joking, and yet there is real
depth here and real pain. you did an
amazing job on this one.

that was deep that is a fact but i loved it i hope everything is kk and i hope you are fine but i love the poem it speaks a lot for its self amazing sweetie

If whisks become arguments and you need the cat to conceal domestic violence it is probably time to hit the road or throw out your assailant and pet. May you have the wisdom to make the proper choice. Best of luck in the contest. Take care,
