LOL! Cute and clever. I can just imagine his notes and shopping lists:

Darling, you're my dream.
Don't forget to buy cream
to make our coffee treat
mild and slightly sweet.

And steak on the grill
would be such a thrill.
I'll cook it for you.
I think three pounds will do.

Poised between the poetic and the pragmatic. What does the shopping list look like, and who writes it? Does it need deciphering? Get a cow and the family will be spared failure to shop and death by poetry.

    You're such a practical sort. But what if they live in NYC, say, rather than NZ? Then they could be looking at jail time!

    Well, we wouldn't want that... but I guess they serve milk in jails? That would save shopping expeditions.

    And possibly even the marriage! The wife seemed a bit at the end of her rope.

    So who should we send off to some isolation 'inside'... the wife or the poet?

    Well, since this is a writing site, I would be rather stupid to suggest the latter, wouldn't I?...

This is priceless. I do have a friend who talks like this. he's a dick... sometimes, just out of badness, we go out and all exaggerate his quirks whilst in conversation with him. he never g4ts it. lol

    Why is it those are the people with no sense of humor about themselves? That's okay - all the more fodder for us! Thank you for the fun review, G. Very much appreciated. xo

WoW! In a few words you have include a lots of emotions.There is a lot you have to deduce and I presume I is the husband. Or that he has written a terse note to say that 'No milk"
Thanks for posting .This made my brain work!

    You presume correctly! This poet's simple note is anything but simple!! Every spouse has his or her quirks!

    Thanks for the review, Sanku. xo
