Shame Poem by Robert Edgar Burns

Shower her daily with praises.
Tell her she's beautiful beyond compare.
Think of her as a priceless jewel,
Then for you she'll always be there.

They want so little more from a man.
Just knowing he treasures her love.
And puts her on a pedestal,
This plan ordained from above.

When I hear men belittle their wives
In a group or in a gang,
It sickens me to hear their words
And the awful terms used as slang.

A brother in law once asked of me
What was my very favorite tail?
I told him a rump roast in my crock pot,
I'd rather have seen him in jail.

I walked away when I had the chance.
And I'll never stand in a group,
Who may be kidding at their wives expense,
For their mouths are spouting poop.

Remember the day of your wedding?
Was there ever a more beautiful sight?
There was never a more treasured moment,
In your romantic life.

Why belittle your spouse with ugly words,
Simply to hear others laugh?
Your shame will come back to haunt you,
Where you won't find any laugh track.
