The Calm before the Storm I come home in the evening, after working hard all day I open up the mailbox, to see what I must pay. I have a cup of coffee, a cigarette I light There is a moment`s pleasure, before there is a fight. The kids are in a frenzy, I can`t take it anymore Your supper is in the oven,I am walking out the door. I said no need to worry, there`s no reason you should pout I didn`t want to hear it, just put my dinner out. Well her voice got very quiet, and then she just got sore The oven door came open; my food went on the floor. The dishes weren`t broken, as they flewacross the room The dog ran to the basement, he sensed there would be doom. My clothes came down the staircase, a little after nine She was cleaning out the bedroom, with everything of mine. The kids were watching TV, the volume was on high They didn`t want to hear the screams, in case I had to die. A chair went through the window, the neighbors went inside Some went in to pray for me, the others went to hide. The cops came round the corner; they knew just where to go They pulled up on the driveway, and approached her very slow. She stood there in the doorway, and asked where they had been I was in the closet; I prayed they`d take her in. After many years of marriage, and a will that was so strong I learned there are times I`m not right, and then sometimes I`m wrong. There`s a message in this story, which should be very clear Listen very carefully, and you will have no fear. A woman, who`s not angry, may love you every night Just keep in mind these simple words, she is always right.  |
