ANGRY ADMONITION, by                    
First Line: Husband! I am just a woman!
Last Line: "you're sure you watched the recipe?"
Subject(s): Marriage; Weddings; Husbands; Wives


Husband! I am just a woman!
Not your mother! Not an angel! Not a cook!
I haven't borne six rugged sons;
I haven't nourished them through school!
I'm not a cook-book prodigy,
I'm just a fool....
So ... be BIG, my love,
And let pass by
The "Devil's Food" I had to try,
Without your usual, "Dorothy!
You're sure you watched the recipe?"
