Comment from Bill Schott
This parody of the tune to I'm a Little Teapot, I'd Rather Be Puffing, sounds right, but I'm sorry the draw of mall, with its multitude of opportunities to interact with the walking dead of mankind isn't enough to keep you off the broccoli.

Comment from robyn corum
Harry,
The short and sweet answer is YES! You are supposed to follow at the wife's heels patiently and happily, carrying all our purchases and saying, 'yes, dear' and 'mhm hm, punkin' and 'oh, that one looks super on you, sweetie,' until you fall down. (But then you just get a Gatorade --the drink of Champions and a power bar -- and get up and continue.)
What's the deal with this ATTITUDE, dear? Need a va-cay?
Welllll...you're not getting one. So shut up and pick up my bags and COME ON!

Oh, yes. The magic words in any marriage for the guy are certainly, yes, dear. The big secret to happiness and a successful marriage. It is too bad some guys never learn the secret. Thanks for the read and the comments.

Hi there,
I am a new poet reading your song,
dragged to your poem with an effortless pong!
I tried to write a poetic review! Nice poem anyway, I enjoyed reading it.
Many congratulations.

Hello!
Hah! I loved it! The next time I am at the mall, and I spy a man "of a certain age," I am certain to think of your poem.
Smile for the day! I definitely will never think of "I a Little Teapot" in the same vein ever again!
Best Wishes,
diane
