THE HOUSEWIFE - June Gamble

I married a man, not a house,
but they call me a house-wife.
How True!

At first it was a semi,
two individuals forever joined.
Very Cosy!

Seduced by ambition, the temptress,
Now she keeps him out all hours.
How Lonely!

Housewife, mother, daughter, friend,
Like four faces of an old clock tower.
All Different!

Ten years on, the semi’s gone;
We’re detached now.
Very Affluent!

Two cars parked in the drive,
Taking us in diferent directions.
So Busy!

The bedroom’s needs a face-lift,
‘No time’ he says, ‘Get a man in’...
Good Idea!
