Smart Wife
I have to admit it
my wife is smarter than I am
though it pains me to say it
it took me many years
to acknowledge the fact
despite the fact that it was obvious
to all others
for whatever reason
she married down
I must have had some attraction for her
but I don't know what it was
perhaps it was the fact that I could dance
perhaps it was because I made her laugh
or perhaps it was the fact that she was so young
only 14 at the time
it certainly was not my intelligence
or potential
still she has carried me all these many years
with little praise and no compensation
how do you explain that?
maybe she's not so Smart after all.
