HIS & HERS: a voyage through the Middle Age Crazies

3 - the Relationship------------------------------------------ HIS... A SMALL QUIET WAR over the years my wife and I have discovered two things a man and a woman should avoid doing together that is if they value their relationship laying rugs and carrying mattresses and she's at it again my wife under the house digging I can hear her down there with my old rusty tools picking and shoveling away hollowing out a place for her imagination to run wild in she's been at it off and on now for two years running back and forth with one shovelful of dirt at a time throwing it into the yard doing it the hard way and I must admit I'm always a bit surprised and annoyed when I see the size of the pile she is making but it's her project and she says I'm not and don't have to be involved still and all it has now become impossible for me to lie here comfortably listening to the ball game

4------------------------------------------------------------------- HERS... LITTLE BIT Mama could cut a chocolate Into pieces enough for us And the starving Chinese So I naturally thought Everyone should share. "Let me use your deodorant, Some toothpaste, A taste of your cheesecake please." Sent away to boarding school He hid the goodies his grandmother sent From his roommates he learned Not to share Back home his mom Gave him a whole Hershey So naturally He thought Everyone should Have one of their own Whether this is female -- male, A parental tape, socio-economics Or an old marriage game, who knows? But in a bar When he asks, "Do you want a beer?" And I say, "No, but I'll have a little bit of yours." I know I go to far
