Disappointment

 

I’ve been a disappointment

To women all my life,

Starting with my mother

And ending with the wife.

To give her the full title, she is "the first wife".

Interesting that it's "my" mother! Maybe he's more scared of his mother than his wife! And I'm sure it can't be true John! Nice to see you posting again! xx

I am not sure if honesty is the best policy with mothers or wives. Did you write this in the shed or the doghouse?

Great, John. Who minds a short 'un? Cynthia, when we say "the wife" we mean it as in "the one and only", it's just that our delivery lacks a little zest sometimes.

It might be: he calls his wife 'THE wife'. Most women hate that - 'THE', like chattel.

Yet again you've made me laugh. Should perform well!

PS I'm sure it's not really true
