tips for married guys

when us guys were courting our wives we would make them mix tapes, sing them songs we learned from Bon Jovi, or even attempt our own poetry. and they married us anyway. wouldn't you know it, our wives still appreciate the effort, except we don't know any new songs, we couldn't afford to buy music after all the money went to paying for diapers, plus what does an 18 year old know about love? our voices are not nearly as angelic as we imagined them. and poetry doesn't feel masculine. it's only ok for men trying to woo a girl.
well, she still likes to be wooed. and there is a poetry for older dumb guys. Shakespeare and his sonnets can take a leap. the Japanese invented this form called haiku, and it works. 3 lines. 5 syllables, then 7, then 5 more. it doesn't rhyme. it's easier than a limerick. it impressed my wife enough that she put the ones i wrote for her this Mother's Day on her blog. dudes, it is so easy to impress your wife with your haikus written for her. i think they won't get you out of opening your wallet for her, but the personal touch covers a multitude of sins my friends.
