I'm looking for a husband, you know the sort of chap <br />The kind of guy who copes with things and never has a flap <br />The one who fixes cars and bikes and often mows the lawn <br />Takes the kids on Sunday hikes while I with hammock yawn <br /> <br />I'm looking for a husband, you know the sort of bloke <br />Who listens to the things I say and laughs out when I joke <br />He'll do the Sunday B B Q and carves the Sunday roast <br />Then gives me a foot massage, that's the thing I like the most <br /> <br />I'm looking for a husband dependable and true <br />Who likes to have discussions but never will argue <br />Can sit in friendly silence, and never has to babble <br />Will make and pour the tea for me and lets me win at scrabble <br /> <br />I'm looking for a husband; I know they're pretty rare <br />The kind who opens doors for me and lets me have his chair <br />And earns enough at his travail so we're debt and mortgage free <br />But doesn't put his work ahead of caring about me <br /> <br />The husband I am looking for might seem quite rare to you <br />And friends have tried to tell me that in number they are few <br />But I have hope of finding one I hope he will be free <br />‘Cause I've been one for forty years, I want one just like me!<br /><br />Christopher Higginson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-husband/
