From An Exasperated Wife
My husband collects
this, that and the other;
I think, why bother?
I’d put it all in the bin.
There’s no doubt
I’d like the lot cleared out.
Perhaps I’ll start with him.

This Is Me:
I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.
I have the funniest readers in the blogosphere (not necessarily ha ha…)
The Laughing Housewife 
I do empathize. It’s more prevalent amongst men, I think, this collecting gene. 🙂

I like the poem, but think you should keep Hub! Just don’t start collecting husbands.

Is this the Hub in disguise?

The person writing this comment. I think it must be because I don’t usually have to explain my jokes to Viv.

Sigh. No. I love him too much to bin him; but I might lose my self-control one day as far as his humungous junk pile is concerned.

Meant to add: there’s no such thing as a ‘bit’ of a collector.

Tilly,
This made me laugh! Why is it the men are the ones collecting what we consider junk? My husband seems to collect old exams he has given, to students he longer teaches. I am forever finding them in folders and tossing them. When I ask “Why are you keeping these”? The answer is always the same, “I dunno”.
