She said I write Kitsch
this love of my High School days
I called her a witch.

She only likes rhymes
the ones by the old masters,
and the old clock chimes.

How can my own spouse
forget to be awed by me?
I'm man of the house!

It's a Haiku now
she has no understanding.
I called her a cow.

In the doghouse - ME!
and she puts on my muzzle,
to chew poetry.

I think women are
so besotten with logic
that men seek the bar.

For her special day
I shall not write a poem
hope that is okay.
