She rules the roost behind the scenes. <br />Although her husband wears the jeans. <br />She lets him show he is the boss <br /> but there are lines he dare not cross. <br /> <br /> For all his manly macho show <br /> she knows it’s only bravado. <br /> More importantly so does he <br />which he accepts apparently. <br /> <br />He knows quite well who’s in control <br />but still he plays his public role. <br /> She treats him deferentially <br />whilst there’s an audience to see. <br /> <br />Like any man who’s seen the light. <br />He knows that she is always right. <br />Her slightest wish is his command <br />which isn’t hard to understand. <br /> <br />He’s not the tough guy he appears <br />She has been training him for years. <br />He knows: She knows, he knows she knows <br />His public image is a pose. <br />1-Jun-08 <br /> <br />http: // blog.myspace.com/poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/of-course-sweetheart-for-m-lady-tara/
