I Didn't Hear You Say That

A poem for husbands and wives.

I Didn’t Hear You Say That

 

By Elton Camp

 

“But I told you to bring home some bread.

You never seem to listen to anything I said.”

Most husbands have heard such as that before

And are likely to hear yet many times more

 

It isn’t exactly that our hearing is defective,

Rather, because our listening can be selective

So any husband who the favor of his wife seeks

Would be well advised to listen when she speaks
