Is Truth stranger than Fiction?

Does Stress cause Friction?

Is Diction a Contradiction?

DUH?

Lady in Distress

© - Tom Hyland - 04-05-09

Yes - she was Fuming!
Yes - she was Upset!
Could have chewed Nails -
Yes - I would Bet!

Handyman is A.W.O.L.
Job is Undone -
Daughter Teed-Off -
Asleep is - In-Law Son!

White Knight Arrives -
In Shining Armor -
Says - Hair Looks Nice -
Thought I was a Goner!

Curtain rods Frim-Frammed -
Phone out of Whack -
Eyes Glazed Over -
She was a Wreck!

Bed Screwed Up -
Legs/Feet Missing -
Storage Boxes Out -
Man - she was Hissing!

To the Top of the Step-Stool -
To the Top of the Wall -
Screwin’ in Brackets -
Oh, Please - Don’t Fall!

Place is a Mess -
Her hair a Dishevel -
Was I her Angel?
She looked like the Devil!

“Re-arrange the Roses -
No - not like That!
Down more in the Middle -
Fix it - Tom Kat!”

Do it My Way -
Or hit the Highway!
Hell hath no Fury -
Like this Woman’s Story!

Tears started Flowing -
But - she didn’t Cuss!
Bedazzled and Frazzled -
She made quite a Fuss!

Stormed at with Shot and Shell -
The Knight - not Dismayed -
He carried on Splendidly -
Hoping to get Laid!

Down to the Workshop -
Once - Twice - Thrice -
Sawed Two-by-Fours -
For Rigging - so Nice!

Where is the Flashlight?
I need a Torch -
Where is the Molding?
Is it out on the Porch?

Like “Hot-Buttered-Beans”
We searched High and Low -
Where’s that Friggin’ Molding?
Her Temper did Flow!

Upstairs - Downstairs -
This room - then That -
Aha! In the Closet -
That’s where it’s At!

Hammer - Nails - Screwdriver -
All were Employed -
This Job - that Job -
I tackled - won my Reward!

Bedding - Mattress - Box-Springs -
All were Undone -
Fixed the Friggin’ Feet -
Then - Finally - we Won!

All back Together -
Only took Four Hours!
She - now Pleased - Smiles Sweetly -
Maybe I’ll get Flowers?

Now De-Stressed - now Complacent -
We shared a Bath -
Then, Abed for some Fun -
Story Done - Now - Can Laugh!
