The Life of the Wife

The Life of the Wife
BY Adrian

The life of the wife is tenuous
and often strenuous.
What say you, wife?
“What’s this strife?”

“My life, as a wife, is simple.
Easy to smile from dimple to dimple,
wouldn’t you say?”
How about pay?

“What ever do you mean?
My husband and I are a team.
His money is my money.”
Isn’t that funny?

“What’s this?”
The life of the wife is tenuous
and often strenuous.
What tripe is this?

This poem is rather funny, and pretty good. Not my type of poem, but not bad. The rhyming was a little too precise, and in the last stanza, you changed your rhyme scheme. Now, it is possible to get away with this, because it means you wanted emphasis on a certain part, but in this poem, it interrupts the flow. Could you possibly change it around? Nice job though.

The rhythm could be better though... ^^,

Anyway, this is just great! Hang on, I'm gonna feature it on my profile...There! Mission accomplished! And no death warranties needed! (Hehe!)

I wonder if people felt the freedom in our culture to love louder, if they'd be quicker to say "I miss you" when the absence of someone is felt instead of just thinking it.
