Comment from Gloria ....

Excellent

How do you know when a man is going to say something intelligent? He starts off with, "My wife said".

Great job and a fine entry into the contest. Let's hope that the entire committee is composed of hens. :)

Good luck in the contest.

Oh, really?

So, the invisible man, the easter bunny and the perfect woman were walking down the street, when they came across a $20 bill on the pavement. Which one picked it up?

A: The easter bunny, of course. Everyone knows the other two don't exist!

Thanks so much, Gloria. I take it I have your vote? lol

Comment from Cindy McIntyre

Excellent

I LOVE it. This is a bit of historical truth, and yet I also see some humor in the piece as well. Such a clever and creative topic to write about and you were able to paint a character in a 2-4-2 format. Well-written! Good luck.

Thanks so much, Cindy. It wasn't so hard, really... I just had to think back to wife #1!

Most grateful for the lovely comments, Craig

Excellent

The words chosen speak to the absolute definition of hen-pecked, and the photo is just right. So fitting that Socrates wife is portrayed as a redhead.

Q; How do you know when a redhead has forgiven you?
A; She stops washing your business shirts in the toilet bowl.

Haha,

And how do you know when you've satisfied a redhead? A: She unties you.

Thanks for the joke, and the great comments. Craig
