Most of the time
men make it just fine
keeping the old home fires
burning, so to speak
and wives are marvelous
adorable creatures to
have running the households
Men are oft the fixers, the repairers,
the "do-it-yourself" guys
and the "go-to-guys"
when something is broken
That brings up a dilemma---
"Fixing" means spare parts
and those have a way...
of accumulating
Okay.
But what about, the ladies
who think their guys
know everything...
about stuff?
and they come out with
weird little things...
you know, er...
like screws and nails
and gadgets and widgets---
stuff long-forgotten from
some former appliance
or tricycle, or toaster, or---
name it---
"Honey, where does this
thingie go?
It keeps turning up and is
in the way, and I'm
tired of seeing it."
"What's is for? Can you
put it back on?"
"Or should I toss it?"
From years of experience
the cognoscenti husband
will answer:
"Keep it in the junk drawer,
we'll need it
tomorrow."
(Never toss it.)
