A Typical Husband

"My nose is red, my throat is sore,
Please my darling go to the store.
I really need some aspirin, and a tonic too,
My head hurts so bad, it must be the flu.

My joints all ache, My fingers are numb,
My nose is clogged, I can't feel my tongue.
My eyes hurt, My feet will swell
To put it nicely, I feel like hell."


"Your nose is red, but like a rose,
It makes me think of  symphonic prose.
Your head may hurt but it's lovely too,
Please tell me what else there is to do.

I'll rub your hands, so smooth and soft,
And try to treat your musical cough..
I'll kiss the eyes that shine so bright
And massage the arms that hold me tight.

I'll knead the feet I know so well
For you, my dear, I'll walk through hell.
For you are the one that I adore.....
But you'll have to wait till I see the score."
