Fizzled Sizzle

  

“Our life needs more ‘sizzle’,”Said Husby. To me.And I wondered just what in the world could he mean?
So I went to the lexicon,Searched the word there.I admit that the things that I found made me stare.
It said ‘sizzle’s a hissing sound,Water—hot steel.Which happens whenever I’m making a meal.
It also suggestedTo burn up or sear.Sounds to me like a branding iron on a calf’s rear.
Or the hissing sound madeWhen burning or frying.That happened last night. He thought something was dying.
And lastly, to seetheWith deep anger: resent.Now I’m really unsure just what my Husby meant.
So to my dear friends,Use a whisper. (Don’t shout.)Can you tell me what life with more ‘sizzle’s’ about?
