    American Wife
    My husband works outdoors all day
    his muscles fairly bulge
    while I, hausfrau, indoors do stay
    my desires I indulge

    Lunch with the ladies upon my whim
    we meet once, twice a week
    then off I go, to the gym
    to keep me at my peak

    For pushing vacuum, broom or mop
    will not the sagging of bottoms stop
    so to keep on playing with hubby's money
    I must maintain his pot of honey

    Though the biggest bulge I'm interested in
    is green and crisp and paper thin
    I for my part will obey
    and take care of the 'equipment' on which he plays

    Such is the story of the American wife
    who makes pleasing her man her entire life
    I know what he needs, what I need as well
    more allowance please, I'm low on Chanel!!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
