Sorry I Tried.

A Poem by matelotrod

Humour regarding foolish husbands helping efforts!

Sorry I tried.
I decided to try and help my wife, I thought I'd try to clean the house.
What better form of love and care could be offered by a spouse?
I found her cleaning cloths and hoover and her yellow feather duster
I started work with sincerity and with all the energy I could muster.

It didn't take me very long before I realized that cleaning isn't easy
I found that dust and cobwebs made me feel incredibly sick and queasy
But I carried on in my own working way determined to get it all polished
My wife arrived she yelled at me, "It looks like our home's been demolished"

"What on earth are you doing, that's a woman's work a husband hasn't a clue"
I answered her in my own sweet way, "I was trying to make life easy for you"
She took a look at the mess I had made and said "Go and sit down with a Whiskey"
I swiftly obeyed , it was a mistake that I'd made, cleaning for a man is too risky.
