Leonard Family - Lenoir Inez Leonard - My Apology to my Man.

This poem was written by my mother's mother, Lenoir Inez Leonard Triplett - also known as Bobbie. This was written at an unknown date. I declare that I have the copyright to this poem.


My Apology to my Man.

My poor husband

Doesn't know that I know' Why he's so dreadfully henpecked;

Such simple little things, a basket

of darning, twonedn't need to be more.

When I set me task and I don't

Succeed..... it's


Pop- why don't you mow the lawn,

You haven't fixed that light switch yet

Why don't you use the edger, we look

All frayed around about. For nineteen

Years he's patiently endured the

Scoldings I should have given me.
