You've got some bad habits <br />that need to be unlearned. <br /> <br />And yet, <br />You are a wonderful cook <br />without recipes from a book. <br /> <br />Our house is antiseptic clean, <br />you are a robotic cleaning machine, <br /> <br />And yet, <br />You frown at dimples on my thighs <br />and point out crowfeet around my eyes, <br /> <br />You remind me to step on the scale <br />each day, <br /> <br />and check my purchases, however small, <br />account for my hours, where I've been, <br /> <br />As if being without you is a sin.<br /><br />Elke Nigro<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/retired-6/
