I have written a love poem to my wife, for 1 shekel and 12 mina you may copy it and tell your wife it is your own. I promise it works well, she didn't yell at me for first time since the great harvest

Really makes you wonder what

WITH A LADDER

meant back in the time of the X.K.C.D.

Maybe nothing special, maybe one of the hypotheses is correct. It would be clearer if it came out soon after #932.

That's beautiful, man. Truly, her breasts are like pomegranates.

I have a complaint! My wife immediately knew I didn't write this but didn't tell me how, so I began sleuthing and found out that she had gotten it recited by her secret lover, another customer of yours. When confronted about it, she confessed and demanded a divorce, saying the lover could tell the poem more heartily.

AITA?

This is originally "A hymn to Ishtar as the goddess of love written in Akkadian" by u/AlumParhum at Reddit's r/Sumer.

If Ishtar is your wife, are you Dumuzid, the god of shepherds?

zazo@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 2y

too much simping for one's own wife - may you praise Ishtar more and maybe then she'll bless your wife to take your seed (and not just after a bountiful harvest)

This is clearly a Nam-Shub...

I am unconvinced this woman did not fart in your lap, since time immemorial, that is.
