Husband's Law

When Husband hands you a secret key,

But forbids you to reach its destiny,

Are you to obey, your will denied?

Or is Husband’s Law to be defied?

But what of curiosity’s price?

Should you shun this seeming vice?

Or should you embrace the truth unknown,

And claim this knowledge as your own?

If the apple hangs so clean in sight,

Is the test to deny your appetite?

What, pray tell, can come of this?

The test of the loyal lover’s kiss?

It was knowledge pure that tempted Eve

Not what they’d have you believe.

A man is given right to find

What mystifies his probing mind,

Yet women are punished for their prying,

Not celebrated for their flying.

So let the scales of justice weigh

The same despite where penalties lay.

For curiosity is not a sin!

But the desire to learn what dwells within.
