Of sacrifices I recall,
One stands out clear to me.
Like when my wife asks me to come,
With her on shopping sprees.



A man knows what he wants to get,
And buys it on the spot.
But a woman must deliberate,
If she should buy or not.



I tag along from store to store,
And hope she soon will find.
And item that at last she likes,
So she'll make up her mind.



I may be treading on thin ice,
With this analogy,
But anyway, I'll take a chance.
It seems so right to me.



It's much like when
I've walked my dog,
And waited patiently,
For him to to pause
and sniff and scratch.
Then try out every tree.



I feel I'd rather walk the dog,
Than plod through stores and shops.
With him, at least, I have a leash;
To cut down on his stops.
