There's little difference between a joke and an insult
when you tell me I need to be smarter
yet your brain sinks fast in a puddle of beer.

Don't say you want to see me angry
unless you have all day to argue
remember I am a woman.

And why do you ask if I've missed you over the weekend,
when you know you're the last person
I want to think about.

Go home and ask your wife the same question.
Does she miss you when you stay out all night
leaving her to watch your son?

You are a model husband of what not to be.
Take your ice scraper and clean your windows
so you can see there's nothing there but snowflakes.
