The Missus is on my Back.

Based on the feedback I've edited this piece, sacrificed some brevity for clarification! Hope it's more enjoyable now. Big thanks to you tectak (I'm actually a 'rhymoholic' but this is an early attempt to rid myself of the habit, I'll post a rhyming piece shortly).
a_p. - thanks for reading and commenting, as you can see your interpretation forced a small but v.significant revision which I'm sure will result in an "aha" reaction from you! Thanks
