I’m an American. So you know I KNOW about equality, right?
And I’m married. I strive for spousal equality with all my might!
Let me share with you how I help to keep my marriage EQUAL.
I’m so good at it that this is my 3rd marriage sequel.

I miss you, Valsa; I can hardly afford to lose any 'faithful' fans! ! ! ! But I know you STILL 'love' me, even though you fled to another poetry site! ! : )
GOLLY! Over 10 years this poem seems to have had comments from 28 different poets, IF you count the one from ME. 'Those WERE the days! ' Thanks, to all. : ) bri
sarcasm and irony. I'm lucky, because you warned me. What a hardworking husband 😅!
AND I've warned ALL of my 4 wives......(one is STILL my wife, for 15 years (an amazing record) ....before marrying them; OK, maybe I did NOT.
(cont.) I THINK my MAIN MISTAKE was marrying ALL of them on my birthday...IN THE SAME YEAR! ! ! : ( bri
Humorous as planned. Have you thought of why your 3rd wife may work full time. I like that you seem to not take anything serious. Go Bri
Well the idea of equality you talked about is beautiful but over here it is more like a collaboration, you do your part, I do my part. There is only one boss here that's me but we are partners in the end
Well-said. Thanks for the information. Are you STILL married NOW, about 9 months (time enough to produce a baby!) since you left your 'nice' comment? ?
l laughed, laughed for your poems are funny.Could u become equal, ? perhaps never.
'u'? ? ? Did you mean 'We'? No way! ! ! I'm WAY AHEAD OF YOU, MY sometimes-friend. Yes, perhaps 'never'. ;) Thanks for commenting. : )
Hey, you must be doing something right when she allows you to do the " man" thing to perfection.... I can easily imagine feminists planning a little something to brighten up your future. Or maybe this is just self mockery and you're trying to conceal the fact that you happily do your fair share. Either way I enjoyed stopping by, Bri. Oh aye, your english doesn't by the way!
Full of wit and some.... as well that rhymes with it. And I've no stomach to read how you keep your marriage equal, Nor yet to read (if you're planning one more) to read the sequel. After reading so much ho-hum here, it is nice having some fun.
Thank for the tip. I well surely check out morning bride. Bcoz heaven has no fury sound intrestin
I have always bin terrible at spellin n grammar.I wil tak ur loud n clear as am getting beta at it
Well I guess that expkain how u weather calm. Thanks 4 taking d time read n comment on my poem
As I WAS saying...., A B. Where there's a will (a desire) there is often a 'way' (to achieve that desire) . Then again, MANY may have the 'will' but the way is blocked! : (
The problem is she has a full-time job...... at a bank. I have no “OUTSIDE” job. At regular jobs I stank. But I’m glad that at home I can, and do, do my part. I don’t, like SOME BUMS, .... just sit at home and fart. very interesting poem . you have portrayed how it can be in a home where married ones behave and think of equality........ nice poem.. liked it very much. tony
I am just stupefied at your poem. I like most the following lines of yours: My wife makes our bed. I mess it up. She washes plates and bowls. I wash my cup. She washes our clothes. I say “Nice job.” She hangs them on line. I tell her 'They’re dry.' I’m NO SLOB! ..... Oh, NO! I seem to be of the same opinion on marriage with the exception that I'm 79, married once and hope forever. This year will celebrate our fifty years of marriage.
Val, my long lost (on PH at least) friend, My condolances on 50 years of marriage to the same woman! ! Wow. Give Putin a swift kick in his pants if you are 'up to it'. : ) bri
A fascinating and witty write that evokes laughter. A pure delight and well executed piece.10
R M, today I plan to read one of YOUR poems. (ten years later) YOU have been, it seems, one of the most active poets (writing, reading, and commenting on poems 'recently'. You have not abandoned PH, nor died. ;) bri
A very entertaining write full of fun. The stanzas preceding the final stanza are to me purely humor, and fantasy, and it served its very purpose, to entertain. The real, Bri Edwards, to me I think pertains to the man mentioned in the last stanza who believed in marriage equality.
I eat every meal and even lick my plate.... and hers. I turn on lawn sprinkler and she mows the lawn.....thanks sir I read your poem I really enjoy your poem 10++++++++
It's truly amusing and amazing! If it's true, you are surely a wonderful person. I can't tell how? ? But it occurs to me why not? ! I enjoyed your write!
an amusing write that not far rong? you know what Bri if you lived in the UK the Queen would probably give you a gong? ............well penned and arise Sir Bri.
Good humor in dealing with such an important subject in the family. An enjoyable read Bri!
A Well thought out and nicely crafted poem. Your ability to bring in humour in your works is something to be admired greatly.
