Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 Quieting Mistake

Whenever I make a mistake,

Which happens often, then the wife,

A long scolding of me, does make.

I hate that part of wedded life.

If only I'd not have to hear

The wife go on and on about

My mistakes in long winded sneer,

That would make me happy no doubt.

The wife was on her phone and asked

If a favor for her I'd do,

Bring her lip balm tube I was tasked.

By mistake I grabbed super glue.

It's been a month, now happily,

The wife's not said a word to me.
