Our True Story

 

By Walt Perryman

This is a true story about me and my wife.
Is this how any of you retired men live your life?

My wife works and I am a retired oilfield man,
So, I try to do the house keeping the best I can.

I was a drilling consultant, and we drilled for oil,
Now I stay-at-home and it seems all I do is toil.

Sometimes I don’t get it all done, then she has too.
I feel guilty when she does the stuff that I didn’t do!

Men if any of you are living your life like old Walt.
And you don’t get everything done we are at fault.

So, men we need to appreciate our wife’s every day,
And thank the good lord, that she has not run away.
