Interview for a Wife

By Buzby

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The ideal woman for the appointment Of wife and one day mother too Should be aware of your favourite meal And once a week cook it for you The ideal person for the job Of growing old and grey with you Must love you for your good points And forgive all your bad points too The ideally suitable female Of this job that’s much desired Should always try to tend your needs And never claim to be too tired The most  ideal aspirant Of  spouse and companion for life Should be both loving and forgiving As is befitting for a wife More importantly, the successful applicant Of this most prestigious post Need not be the most attractive But be the one that you love mostInspired by Sophie Hannah's Person Specification.
