People said I was getting old<\/p>\n
They said I had started developing wrinkles on my face<\/p>\n
They even said my hair had started greying<\/p>\n
That I was approaching menopause<\/p>\n
That, I had to get married<\/p>\n
I was reluctant too<\/p>\n
Because I was getting set in my ways<\/p>\n
I wasn’t about to be told what to do<\/p>\n
How to do what to do<\/p>\n
Reluctantly I conceded<\/p>\n
And regretted it, almost immediately<\/p>\n
For starters, my husband snores<\/p>\n
He eats much too loudly<\/p>\n
And belches even louder<\/p>\n
The foregoing irritates me<\/p>\n
Sets my teeth on edge<\/p>\n
I wish I had’nt listened<\/p>\n
To what the people said<\/p>\n
The funny reasons<\/p>\n
I wish I had dared them<\/p>\n
Called their bluff<\/p>\n
Then I wouldn’t be, in this waterloo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
