Addictions of a Stay at Home Husband

By Walter Burns

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

You left me no cigarettes When you locked me in the house You don’t like my addictions So you took away the mouse Oh my goodness! What’s gone now! Alas, the sugar candy There’s a lock on liquor box When I went to pour some brandy Unfolded clothes stacked on bed I can’t sleep the day in bliss My writing pad I saw you shred So my poetry I must miss With withdrawal nagging me How am I to clean and cook You hid my vices darn real well And only left me self-help books Well of course you took your body And I'm addicted to that a bunch But I know my chance is coming soon Because you’re coming home for lunch Written July 10th, 2001 © on Jul 10 2001 03:01 PM PST   0 • 14
