Angels
by Charles E MinshallYesterday I woke up,
And thought that I was dead,
There was an Angel there beside me
Sleeping in my bed.
I thought that I had reached
The end of my life,
Then I discovered
The Angel was my wife.
This morning I woke up
With an Angel in my bed,
But I'm a hundred miles from home,
My wife will shoot me dead.
I know not how it happened
All I know is this,
With an Angel beside me
Life is truly bliss.
I don't know where tomorrow
That I am gonna be,
Probably down with the devil,
If my wife catches me.

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 12/21/02 at 01:24 PM With a little adjusting, this could turn out to be the finest tribute to wifehood there ever was. Otherwise, it's definitely humorous, even a little riske. Kudos chum! |

| Posted by Anne Engelen on 01/02/03 at 12:47 AM OMG...here I thought how sweet a poem, wonderful tribute to one's wife and then it completely turned against her...and comes this "I'm-only- male-kinda-behaviour" peeking to finish of this poem! Somehow I'm not even that surprised anymore.
Great one as always!! |
