The eternal unrest in the nest!
He was basically very brutish;
His wife was naturally prudish.
She was at her best shrewish;
It caused him a lot of anguish.
He would often, her, admonish;
He never failed, her, to astonish!
He oft thought of a plan devilish;
And wished he could, her, banish!
She imagined that he did diminish
Her peace and was a real blemish.
Both of them failed to distinguish
Their better side from their darkish!
