THE LITTLE THINGS

I take my shoes off where we dine
  which I think is just plain fine
  its better than the times you"hide"
  news paper's sports and classified

Sometimes I don't fill ice trays up
  and leave enough for just one cup
  but your gas guage, it stays on "E"
  necessitates fill up by me

And while we're talking 'bout the car
  the radios too loud by far
  although you say my trucks a mess
  its clean enough for me, I guess

Just 'cause I leave poem notes about
  is no reason for you to shout
  at least when we do sleep at night
  for covers you don't have to fight

I drive too fast, I drive too slow
  but we still get there ,don't you know
  who got the last summons or ticket?
  for seat belt violation, click it!

The times I fix us grub to eat
  I don't leave kitchen sparkling neat
  you frown at me and think its lame
  when e'er I watch a football game

We sit and look each other over
  each thinking life is far from clover
  but then you smile and I just melt
  forgetting all the vex I felt
