Day 18: Dear Husband

Today's prompt: The Loving Critic

Dear husband, I adore this spirit of yours,

I love that you offer to help with household chores.

What would I do without your support, dear boo,

If I criticise, you know it's because I love you?

Oh thanks for loading the washing machine today,

I mean, we are late by 3 days, but it's okay.

It's probably me just being finicky, but you remembered, right,

To avoid nasty surprises from not separating coloured from the white?

While we are at it, I must say a big thanks,

For bringing the dried clothes in and creating cute little tent camps.

They are adorable, that for sure I can say,

But you do know that clothes can be folded within a day?

I see you are cooking up a storm in the kitchen,

I know it's a surprise, you don't want me to pitch in.

But can I just butt in and say one little thing again,

You might want to clean the kitchen top to avoid that (horrible) stain?

Dear husband, keep helping me out this way,

It really does make me feel loved at the end of the day.

Yes, I will keep pointing out how things should be done,

But you know its because my love for you cannot be outdone?
