Henpecked Husband

Early in the morning he gets up, and prepares a cup of tea before the lady shakes out of her sound slumber, and shows signs of being up and awoke for the day. After tea he brings the paper from the gate and taking the dog and the bucket goes out for the morning stroll and milk.

Returning home he dusts the furniture, shelves, changes bedsheets, and arranges the wardrobes. A quick shave and bath, he is ready to peel potatoes, and bring the other necessary groceries for the kitchen. Sending children to school, polishing shoes, washing the vehicle, and trimming the plants, or mowing the lawn before going to office. At times he spreads the washings of the day on the line, or even washes the clothes, left in the bathroom, as it saves him from nagging.

Back home, the same routine, tea-cups, vegetables, kitchen duties, teaching kids, doing home-work for them, and maintaining accounts for the money spent by him, if the lady happens to be a working type, and thus equally or mostly busy, than he is.

On holidays and Sundays his work increases due to visitors. He notes down the phone-calls for the lady and tries to please her in more than one way.
