The Naughty Boy
The Naughty Boy
Husbands and wives paired by chance
still have roles to play, mother
father, sister, aunt, roles that dance:
brother, son, all roles smother.
The husband acts the little child now
his own wife must act the mother
scold she does with punishing vows
"Grow-up," she yells or find another.
A husband's heaven is a place
where all is done for one another
with loving words and warm embrace
not hell with a scolding mother.
Act the man, not the boy, I say
and perhaps you will find heaven
let equality take the day
and all roles will say amen.
