Hearing Aids

She spoke indistinctly so naturally I said What?
She came and said Honey you say what a lot
I denied that, said you are wrong, I do not
But no doubt about it her temper was hot
I looked with some fear, said don’t get overwrought
That was the beginning of a tough night that I got

We were back to the issue that I had been fearing
The dreaded topic was my increased loss of hearing
In the past I’d tried joking, meant as endearing
This time I was facing an expression not cheering
It was clear that this time my worst fears were nearing
No way would storm clouds I saw would be clearing

I glared back with a face that might get me arrested
I don’t want those things in my ears I protested
But I knew from her face I again had been bested
We went to a shop where I knew I’d be tested
And I’d have to fork over some cash I’d invested
And end up wearing those things I detested

Well I really don’t like them but in fairness I’ll say
They don’t bother me much as I do what I may
And they work like ear pods for the music I play
I say WHAT less now so my wife seems more gay
Oops, I forgot them when swimming one day
They worked fine afterward so I’ll admit they’re okay

I notice that now my wife says What a lot
Could I tell her without being shot?

Popular except with my wife.
