Hit me with your best shot you say,
and I am in a fun loving mood this day.
So first I must say Ive been married 38 years,
and through those years often my humor reared.
Hit me with your best shot well let me begin,
when I was first married I was all grins.
Then my husband began to ignore me a read books all the time,
and this old country girl well had to draw a line.
He only spoke when meals were prepared,
and not a word would he say about the house we shared.
So I got the idea I would play a little game,
and in doing so bring love back I had to go blind deaf and lame.
First day he yells out is dinner ready yet,
silent I was and was sacked out in bed.
He comes in and replies aren't we having dinner tonight,
and I replied if you are cooking mighty fine.
Oh he was upset and he took off in a huff,
and what he cooked was for only him just enough.
I waited and he never called for me to join in,
and I let it go with a sly grin.
Later that night he was sure to enjoy himself indeed,
and I gave him just enough to satisfy me.
I turned without a word and he didn't know what to do,
and I whispered I just work here I thought you knew.
It doesn't take much to even the scale of life,
you see that is no way to ever treat your wife.
Today we laugh about it but happy we are,
we hit each other with our best stuff and ended the war.
