Better Watch It Fellow

 

By Elton Camp

 

Arnold, in his house, thinks he’s a king

Respect for his wife doesn’t mean a thing

 

In his eyes, nothing that she does is right

The way he condemns and orders is a fright

 

If Arnie’s supper isn’t ready exactly on time

He’ll curse and call her a lazy ball of slime

 

If, in the house, he finds just a speck of dust

It’s, “To lay and sleep all day you surely must.”

 

His wife has put up with his ways many a year

So Arnie has decided that he has naught to fear

 

He seems to think that it makes him a big man

To demean, abuse and insult her all that he can

 

Beatrice got enough of it and to act she did dare

Arnie slept and she damaged him beyond repair
