It's Always the Wife

Abrupt, unnatural ends to a man's life
Prompt speculation that “it's always the wife.”

Who always listens? Who always knows
When to go along and when to let go?
Who holds his hand–and his spoon–when he's sick?
Who goes from buddy to business partner, double-quick?
Who hears what his boss says, and knows what it means?
Who's willing to take, and who adds to, his genes?
Who handles every matter that matters in the matter of a man's life?
It's always the wife.
