Saga Of A Soldier's Wife

Bug me not, just talk to me;

Why does the subject of household budget make you flee?

Most of us have to plan the month, can't you see?

“Live like Kingsize” is best left to the Queen bee.

Agreed as a soldier, you live for the day,

But during peace time, pragmatic issues do our life sway!

I love you a lot my dear Army man,

But we invariably end up jumping from fire into the frying pan.

I love your flamboyance, my dear Army man,

But we do need to our spending plan!

Everyday cannot be lived as if it is our last,

Party hard every night and have a blast!

With a growing family, someone has to pull in the rein,

That nasty work always falls on me, to my eternal bane!

If I leave it to you to manage the family coffers,

By every fifteenth, our parents would be doing the honours!

Agreed, my dashing hero, you have our motherland to protect,

Therefore you do these minor issues neglect.

Okay, so you go and do your thing for our country,

In the meanwhile, I will hold the fort and do the needful to replenish the pantry!!
