i've climbed the highest mountains

for you

swum the mighty oceans

too

but now we're married and

our love is proved

the goalposts seem to have

suddenly moved.

 

Though i've mastered the mountains

and oceans in turn

making a bed

doing the washing

cleaning the bath

reading (not laughing)

guessing your mind

with romance receding and hard to find

 

like a soup kitchen queue               with

no end in sight

 

to keep me from going completely insane

i'd rather take to the hills again.
