I think you're right about those universal truths you mentioned, Roy. Thank you for your great review!

Well done
Comment from barbara.wilkey
My husband's recliner must go. It's literally falling apart. I am not exaggerating, but he refuses to allow me to replace it. I keep losing that battle. I got a new cover for it, but he took that off. It's unsightly. I enjoyed reading your poem.

We guys can be stubborn sometimes, especially when something is comfortable, which takes precedence (to us anyway) over just about anything else! Glad you enjoyed it, Barbara.

My husband's poor recliner has a spring sticking out the back. It's pitiful, but he likes it.

Tell him I recommend covering that up with duct tape. Simple solution! :)

LOL
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This made me laugh as your lounge has an overhaul and you had your wife and your daughter to deal with here as you battled against their decisions and argued over the colours. I am glad you conceded as women know best when it comes to household furniture! Loved your rhymes and flow Jim and the humour was just the best, love Dolly x

Women absolutely do know best when it comes to decorating. My daughter has been indispensable to both of us, and we trust her judgment completely. We never have to worry anymore about whether or not things go together. She will tell us.
Glad you enjoyed it, Dolly.
Comment from nancy_e_davis
She sounds like me. I was always looking for things to make my home more beautiful. Jim didn't complain. I also looked for bargains. LOL It's called nesting I believe. This was a fun poem Jim. Well done. I enjoyed it. Nancy:)

Thanks, Nancy. Much appreciated.
Comment from JSD
Oh that will come soon Jim. A most amusing piece which successfully utilises rhythm and rhyme and long lines to convey its humorous take on family life. Very good.

Maybe not. They both agreed that could stay (at least for now). Thanks for the good review.
Comment from BenThrone
Ha! This is a great piece of humorous verse. I'm sure that there are many who can relate to this and will appreciate your wit. Thank you for sharing (and bringing a bit mirth to my day). Good luck keeping that entertainment center though.....

Comment from jim vecchio
You said it on that last line! Another work I could truly identify with! Especially that part of color matching! I had to be told by my wife just what color clothing went with what, even though I could hardly see the match myself!

Thank you so much, Jim, for your excellent review and the 6 stars. I'm thinking a lot of guys will probably identify with this. Seems universal.
Comment from Verna Cole Mitchell
I love your journey through poetry of your wife and daughter's redesigning your room. Most of all, I like your final conclusion! I really enjoy your humorous poetry.

Thank you so much, Verna, for your sweet review. Seems like humor poetry is about the only kind I can do.
Comment from Tom Horonzy
and this my friend, had you not realized, is how a redo in style is done by a wife with a friend.
By the way, I retired Jan '22 from being in bed with my wife to our leather sofa. Been there ever since. Never had a mattress near as good as my
Hancock-Moore leather sofa. Sleep like a bug in a cocoon.

Yeah, they know how to gang up on us.
Interesting how you mention your sleeping arrangement. My wife, who had a knee replacement 3 weeks ago, recently moved out of the bedroom into the new recliner in the family room where she claims it is easier on her recovering knee.

I failed to mention, I went to the sofa due to rotor cuff surgery.
