Housewife Handbook
oh, wow! The housewife handbook
given to me by six people in my husband’s family
they all got thrown out the window the same day
from an apartment we rented ten stories up from the sidewalk
have a drink ready for him when he comes home
have his favorite music playing
have his dinner ready to serve hot
do everything you can to make him comfortable
they got pitched after I had endured six hours of a screaming baby
my headache was killing me
my back was breaking
and he was still at work, enjoying peace and quiet.
