Strategic Retreat
Humbly, darling, I mention this:
Before we ever had kissed a kiss,
Before we ever had even met
I got along, in a way, my pet.
I grew through childhood, I went
Through school,
And wasn't exactly a perfect fool.
I even managed as I do now,
To earn a salary check somehow.
Modestly, dearest these facts I cite
To show my judgment at times was right,
That now and then ere I wedded you,
My bean worked wisely a time or two.
And now that we're married one might expect
That once in a while I'd be correct.
All right! All right! I won't
Prolong
The controversy-again I'm wrong!
