Thanks Hon, Happy Val-en-tines !

Poetry challenge: Valentines poem.

We live in a fourteen foot (the width) mobile home

and as much as I love and prefer this place

over our previous dwelling’s,

a three story townhouse and a two story house,

there is only so much usable wall space per room.

 


 

And so, I was telling my husband how I

noticed he was taking up more floor

space in our master bedroom than myself –

with his dresser, laundry basket and an exercise apparatus.

The queen sized bed on my end

aligns with the double door mirrored closet;

allotting only enough room, in-between,

for a small night stand and my slippers.

 


 

As with his response to my inquiry,

my husband emphasis’s prosaically, on repeat,

that he can and will allow up to at-least

six more inches of space on my side of the bed!

  1. Whoa??? Has he not heard of the cliche (but true none the less) “Happy Wife, Happy Life?”. Oh, I think he might be in for some “shaming”? But on the other hand, consider the source, he’s a guy? I’m still lucky to be holding onto half of my closet space. Very funny! I think your fan club will be increasing with this post.

    Have a Happy Valentine’s! Maybe you should try the old saying, if they give an inch, take a mile! Well, maybe that was an old army saying, oh well, see if it works.

    • I’ve been struggling with a head cold for the last few day’s; it’s that pressure – plugged feeling that never drains…anyway, thanks so much for the lovely reply, Jem 🙂
