Promises I Made To My Wife

Promise not to get drunk

late at night and

order way too many

books from Amazon.

 

Promise not to

get angry

when your little dog

rips my shirt and

screams in my ear

when my big dog’s

food bowl is empty.

Who’d have thought

he’d train his own assistant?

 

Promise not to send you

to bed before

eight.  Unless you’re

really tired.  Unless it’s

a really BIG game.

Promise I’ll record

The Young & The Restless.

 

Promise to buy you

fresh flowers every week

until the money runs out.

Because they remind me of

you on your days off.

 

Just what do you mean by

“too many books?”
