In My Opinion

It's all a matter of opinion

We all have one of these

We always have something to say

Even if no one else agrees

My wife says I don't have one

I have to ask her what to say

She thinks I'll say something stupid

She says, 'You're just made that way'

If we go to a fancy restaurant

She orders what food we'll eat

She tells me when I'm finished

And when to leave my seat

Even on our wedding day

Before I could say, 'I do'

She told the preacher, 'Of course, he does'

So I just mumbled, 'True'

If it sounds like I am henpecked

My wife says that's not true

She says to tell you, 'You're all wrong'

She doesn't tell me what to do

So be glad you're not in my shoes

A man who lives this way

The only words I'm allowed to utter

Is, 'Yes dear, whatever you say'

Well, I think I'll end this poem 

And try to get on with my life

But before I go, I want you to know

I probably better ask my wife

funny! So even a cocky rooster can find himself under the hen's wing.

hahahahaha, I loved the ending! I'm not 100% sure, but on the line "The only words I'm allowed to utter is" I think that the "is" should be "are".

Very nice piece.

A very entertaining poem. I'm going on 20 years of marriage. I just smile and be quiet. my job is to pay the bills and don't complain. Life does change for a man? I like the ending to the excellent poem.

Great writing, enjoyable and emotional yet humorous.

[Pax]

even though there is a sad tone in this poem yet you inject some humor that im not sure if its intentional or not but you have done it very well that your readers will enjoy its cuteness and story with a little comic into it. great write.
