Husbands Are In Heaven Whose Wives Scold Not

‘t was on a rainy day in Camelot A knight saw a maid he liked a lot Before he paid heed He remembered, indeed Husbands are in heaven whose wives scold not The maid, it seemed, had almost forgot The words of her mother, whose name was Dot For marital bliss Remember just this Husbands are in heaven whose wives scold not The knight with the maid was quite besot And after a time they tied the knot She never did scold He did not grow old Husbands are in heaven whose wives scold not The end of this tale may surprise a lot Because heaven is not the place he got Words one day you may recall Some, but certainly not all Husbands are in heaven whose wives scold not
