How Betsey and I Made Up

Will Carleton

How Betsey and I Made Up is a poem by Will Carleton, published in the late 19th century. The work humorously recounts the reconciliation between the narrator and his wife, Betsey, after a quarrel. Notable for its lighthearted tone and relatable domestic themes, the poem reflects Carleton's skill in capturing everyday life and emotions through verse. This piece is part of Carleton's broader body of work that often explores rural life and relationships.
