ANGRY ADMONITION by DOROTHY JANE DEUELL

First Line: HUSBAND! I AM JUST A WOMAN!
Last Line: "YOU'RE SURE YOU WATCHED THE RECIPE?"
Subject(s): MARRIAGE; WEDDINGS; HUSBANDS; WIVES;

Husband! I am just a woman!
Not your @3mother!@1 Not an @3angel!@1 Not a @3cook!@1
I haven't borne six rugged sons;
I haven't nourished them through school!
I'm not a cook-book prodigy,
I'm just a fool....
So ... be BIG, my love,
And let pass by
The "Devil's Food" I had to try,
Without your usual, "Dorothy!
You're sure you watched the recipe?"
