The things he says wrong

Charming, when they met

he had used the right words,

but sometimes she notices

he doesn't know correct terms.

It started with the chicken

called it bastard, not basted.

This mistake that he made

was the first that she tasted.

He suggested a scuba-name

for her online account,

But a pseudonym she realised,

was what he talked about.

He told her that she

was on tender hooks,

But what she didn't point out

was he meant tenterhooks.

Its doggy dog world,

he told her one day.

When she lost out on the job,

she'd aimed for an age.

One day he was grouchy,

he asked why so high-rate?

But it was later she realised

he had called her irate.

When their daughter was born

and they were both filled with joy

he turned and told her

he was one egg static boy

Although some times

he makes little sense,

She loves and she loves him...

It's a little incense!
