What it is not is abuse.

I know that for a fact.

He is just particular

About the way I rub his back 

He likes his life in order

And his shoes all in a line

I suppose I have gotten better

About always being on time.

No slips no mistakes

For the grace is just not allowed

For the day is fairly rough

If my will I do not bow.

But he has never called me stupid

He has told me so 

He just implies all of the reminders

So that I can know.

You see I have it good

Compared to other wives

As long as I forget my dreams

And settle for a puppet life.
