Wife Material Poem by Emmanuel Joseph Olumakiss

Where do I find a well cultured woman?
One that's down to earth
Not an expert in war
And exchange of words

A woman's beauty is not in the colour of her own skin
It is deep rooted in her inner heart

Indecent woman is a barial to a hot tempered husband
Extending regards to her man one thing she sees wrong
Always willing to take her leave when once she's corrected

My confidence has failed me!
Building a trust on a nagging woman
A flame that has razed my entire heart
Impatience and high temperament visit our abode daily

Several women I've admired their look
Not staring at their own thinking

Ah my first wife has done me bad!
She has succeeded in beheading my trust
With her insane beauty she dived into my orphanage heart
Period I felt character is viewed from outside
Not knowing there are many kept underground

Where do I find a wife material?
Is there any among the digital age?

Ah my woman has refused doing the washing with her barehand!
She insist it is best done the White man's way
By the use of washing machine
So her hand won't peel

My late brother's wife has gone beyond the norm
She has refused the new born baby a natural breast
She sees extracted milk as the way forward
When hunger of more reasons for her act
She start pouring out unimaginable words
That she never wanted her breast to slip off her chest

What happens to the child growth?
When once she becomes of age
Won't wisdom be far from her reach?

Tell my kinsmen Ugbana!
Tell them in clear terms
That civilization has brought us harm
Husband no longer listen to his own wife
And wife no longer pay attention to the husband
Marriage is now like a market square where we go to have a taste of goods before negotiating for its price

Remind them
We are not used to the White Men's way of life
Nor their own thinking

Our women no longer treat us with respect
They go out at will
And never return till the cock crow
They have suddenly become sex addict
Their demand is in full
Not contented living with their husband

Ah who has brought harm to my household?
Who has bought my woman with words?
My wife is no longer satisfied by my huge manhood
She has learn to do it her own way
Throwing invitation to sex vibrator to quench her sexual urge
Am I not man enough to quench my woman's hunger?
Insatiable she has gradually become over the years.
