Marriage Humor

Long marriages are a blessing
A couple no longer is guessing

A man has long been the person to train
It may take years to really decrease the strain

Sometimes you can hear the directions for the day
While the other is dreaming about what to say

There is little that he can do right
Even when doing things out of sight

She often complains about things she can’t hear
But can tell what you are eating without being near

He walks with the normal pace
But is told that he must be in a race

Finally he passes and has chosen a suit
She pauses and sighs, he thinks he’s so cute

I get it...

Best lines? I can't pick them; I just know that they all sound familiar. After being married for 34 years, I guess I know them all.
Geez.
