With my husband was
       ME  N  U
He earned we spent,
I cooked  we ate,
I looked after the household chores,
He took care of all the bills and repairs,
I took care of the children,
He took care of their maintenance,
He treated me with kindness and equity,
I respected and never went above him,
To hurt his male ego.
If he was the head,
I was the neck,
If something needed to be done,
I didn't shout or nagged,
I used a soft approach with feminine charm,
It always worked.
We had our ups and downs,
But who doesn't?
