Judges Comments
This is a cute idea and you developed it well. Good rhyme scheme and cadence. Overall, however, I think the core message is a little " patronizing" to both the husband and wife. It seems as if the only way to keep a marriage together is if the wife is a "control freak" and the husband is "hen-picked." It would definitely have to be delivered as a novelty song o few singers would really want to sing this message, in my opinion. You definitely have talent! Keep writing!
