Why Nag? (Poem)


It's a real quizzical gag
Wives always nag the husband(the dad)
When the hubby is around
He is always in the way,
Or spoils your day.
Forgets to do things,
Or the stuff you ask him to bring
The kids he does spoil 
After a hard days toil,
Do you have to do that?
You ask with a snap.
Then work calls and away he goes
For 30 days in all, maybe more!
You have your work cut out
And no time to sit and pout.
The stores today, shopping tomorrow 
The bank and the doctor all
in one go!
The kids keep crying 
And you won't stop sighing.
When will Dad get back they say 
Hey kids even I'm counting days,
Today's the day - here's dad back to stay,
With you Dad, no more days will go sad
dad - he smirks and asks 'was it that bad?'
And his grin gets you mad!!
