Should’ve…But She Didn’t!


from the ABC set Life's Funny Little Foibles

Single minded was what she was,
her voice strident all because
Uncle George was hard of hearing,
didn’t make him that endearing

to poor frustrated aunty Jess
when she needed help I guess.
He used to turn his deaf aid down
pretending not to hear a sound.

When she’d witter when she’d nag;
you’d see her shoulders start to sag
as she realised her plight;
it wasn’t any use to fight.

Might just as well never married,
singular would mean un-harried.
Should’ve listened to her mother
should’ve wed his older brother!
