Soul of a Modern Wife, Life of a Homeless Bride

I shall daily visit the beauty parlor And make myself beautiful for you. I shall never clean the house So that my skin is not tarred. I shall ever watch my figure, Eating calorie less foods and drinks. I shall stay home all day And will never be stay at home mom But will go for Disco at night. I shall not take drugs But a drink or two in limits. I shall awake late in the morning So that you are not disturbed. I shall adorn the house to earn Adjectives from the neighbours. I shall buy the furniture to invent Nouns to be told to the visitors. Our house will be all pronouns But will never admit verbs as They shake the very foundation. ========================= Honorable Mention Contest: Fill in the Blanks

This is a powerful and thought provoking poem....Has such a bitter undercurrent that holds so much truth....in some cases an honest portrayal of falseness, of putting on the "front"...keeping up with the Jones's....a sad reflection of what is is to be a wife/mother of today.......(hopefully not the average)...but a scene from "Desperate Housewives"...!Carrie
