The Ones Who Have Control

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The Ones Who Have Control by Christopher Cooper I am the man who has complete control over the women in his life. They are completely subservient to me not one of them has the courage to stand against me. I am the master of the fold, yes the master of the hot iron and I am the master of them being put away. If they wish to keep presentable clothes on their backs they will continue to bring my dinner on time. They will not leave my house as if a herd of wild mammals have run through it. They will continue to do my bidding. Because if they don't, I will not allow my daughter to wear the lovely blue dress I will make her go to the dance in the faded red dress. If my incontinent wife should be upset with me I will curtail her supply of clean panties. And if they should raise their voice to me I will remind them gently but firmly. You Don't Yell At The Man WHO DOES YOUR LAUNDRY Written August 18th, 2001 © on Aug 17 2001 04:32 PM PST   0 • 14
