Oh, Well

My wife is throwing a party in my face.

I’m at the grocery store
Picking up a head of lettuce.

I was in my study listening to records,
Watching golf with the sound off.
My dog Jenny was
Sleeping next to my guitar.

We were very content, my dog and I,
When she came in and said,
You forgot the lettuce.

So what. No one really likes salad.

So, you have to go get some.

Jenny woke up, knocked my guitar down, and
Went to find a better place to sleep.

I’m right in the middle of something. Look what you made her do.

I don’t care. I hate that guitar.

No, you don’t care I thought. Standing in line sucks.
It reminds me of the Army.

So does she.
