Comment from skye
I think I agree with him. Healthy is weird, tastes awful, looks worse.
I love the old fashioned meals..... homemade, comfort foods that leave you able to achieve whatever you need to, because you have gotten iron, vitamins, and energy.
Very very well done.
Cute ending.

Comment from Ann Smith
Good for you. Have you been listening in on my husband's conversations about food? This dialogue could have come from my kitchen. I can hear the woman's voice and the man's voice. I especially like his line, 'just plain food not cooked in haste.' I especially like the line in the woman's voice, 'you can cook your own meals from now.' Good luck with the contest. ann

Hi Ann. thanks for your fun review. It is actually about one of my friends' husbands. Mine quite enjoys the variety! But, from comments I have received, there are a few of these guys out there. Warmest regards.

Comment from Sally Carter
Well heck, didn't he ask for it!
Your poem really made me smile and think of conversations with my dear husband about food I put in front of him. His most irritating remark, which he now does on purpose, is to tell me it is "rather bland". I don't know how he's escaped injury this long!
Great fun, and I hope you enjoyed the splendid meals your husband would have been rushing to cook you after this little fracas. LOL.
Good luck in the voting. Sally

Thank you Sally, for that lovely and generous review on my little bit of fun with this contest. This was fictional - I thought of it when a friend's husband made a comment about her cooking (she will get a copy of this - I'll add his photo for her sake). Warmest regards

Comment from Judith Ann
This was much fun to read. I try to eat healthy and that means I have to serve my husband something else, so I can totally relate. You last line was superb and courageous. Thanks for the laugh. Loved the final line - Judy
I pick up the bowl of spaghetti bol
And tip it over his head
You can cook your own meals from now
And I'll eat healthy instead

Hi Jack, thank you for your review and generous rating on this poem. I don't think I have misspelt bowl? bowel is intestine. Bowl is a basin. the last word in that line 'bol' is short for 'bolognaise', as per author notes. I appreciate your warm and generous review. Warmest regards.
Comment from Perp Ihebom
This is a nice piece about a whining husband complaining about the wife's cooking not being to his taste. It is humorous in a way and at the same time touches on a sensitive family issue. Nice rhymes. cheers

Thank you Perp, yes, it is a problem in a lot of families. Not in mine, really, this is fiction in my case. But I have seen it with friends and family members. Warmest regards.
