The Squabble.



There being no answer
  the ring going on for long
 creates a disturbance with fear
 the mind could not rest
 the heart jumps out
 a slight susipicion runs through
 that there being a squabble
the husband who is perfect
 the wife being over enthusiastic
their egos clash  periodically
 quarrels rise up now and then
 with the man repeating  the accusations
 the wife repenting and crying
 this  being the routine so far
 the call not answered
sends a chill down the spine
 hope my surmise goes wrong.
