Her husband
Said, no, she
Couldn't go
Out with her
Friends, couldn't
Have a good
Time, couldn't
Visit her
Sick father
In the home
Downtown for
The gaga,
Couldn't let
Her unwind
At the old
Cinema
After a
Hard day's week;
He needed
Her at home
To get his
Dinner when
He came home
From his job,
Or his club,
Or the bar,
Or from his
Latest sweet
Mistress with
Whom he now
Copulates
And has done
For the last
Long six months;
Her husband
Said, no, she
Couldn't eat
Too much in
Case she got
Too fat, or
Ventured too
Far, or lost
Her good looks,
Or became
Too ill that
He'd have to
Give up work,
Or the club,
Or the bar,
Or his sweet
Mistress with
Whom he now
Copulates
For too long.
Her husband's
Dead, he said
Far too much.
