It’s about my husband Alex, He’s a truly wonderful man But I fear Alex has gone For a trip to Wonderland. He works hard, and long But lost some of his grip On reality as it really is And seems to be on a trip.
Ice trays that fill themselves, Self-closing cupboard doors, And magic laundry chutes That puts clothes back in drawers Ketchup bottles with 1/10th ounce And leftovers never consumed. And of course automobiles Driven but never get tuned.
In Alex’s fantasyland He lives across a chasm Where only he gets hungry Or gets to have an ******. He doesn’t answer doorbells Or incoming calls on the phone. And, when he’s watching games He is demands to be left alone.
Presents given out by him In his fairy tale existence Are often gift certificates After a round of insistence. And, don’t ask my husband For the date of our anniversary Or the dates our children Showed up in the nursery.
I am only mentioning all this Because I totally understand. I have read quite a few books. I have been to Disneyland. But what I don’t understand And can’t get into my head Is why he hasn’t heard me yet, Or a ****** word I have said.
It isn’t like I haven’t complained Or told him what I wanted. But he looks around like maybe He thinks the house is haunted, Because he is hearing voices That he can’t quite understand. See? What did I tell you? Alex lives in Wonderland!
