Ehh?

 Ehh?

     Praise does wonders for our sense of hearing.

                                                 Arnold H. Glasgow

"Ehh?," pronounced “ay?”

As in “whadayasay?”

A common response from the auditorily challenged -

OK, from me - when asked to do a chore.

I hear my wife’s words so much more,

And so much better, my ears unfettered,

When she tells me my poems - 

Which daily to her I show ‘em -

That she loves ‘em.

Especially when I’m done with ‘em,

And she - wordlessly, I think - hands me the vacuum.
