Between The Lines
by David Pekrul
copyright 05-09-2005


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
I gave my wife a compliment,
She read between the lines,
“Does this dress make me fat?” she asked,
I said, “You look just fine”.

“’Just fine’ is all you have to say?
I think I look quite slim”,
And then I put my foot in it,
By saying, “I meant, TRIM !!”.

She always reads between the lines,
And I can never win,
Each time I give a compliment,
You’d think it was a sin.

“You're looking really nice today”.
“I wasn’t yesterday?”
And after she has said her piece,
There’s nothing more to say.

I walk on pins and needles,
And I’m nervous all the time,
But one thing I won't do again,
Is tell her, "You look fine”.

Ahhh...the insanity of women.

While some men don't know when what they're saying is insulting, some women are too insecure to realize that men don't mean anything by "You look just fine".

I'm so sorry. lol, gah this brings up memories.

You're a good man to put up with that David. You guys put up with WAY too much from us :D

You understand women really well. The main response, "Yes Dear!" Thanks, Anthony

Great sense of humor! Incidentally, if that picture in your bio is essentially your backyard, I'm moving and applying for Canadian citizenship!!
