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!!
