More coffee? Cream? The Times Week in Review?
I hope the Trojan didn't make you mad
but, dear, I sometimes did hear news of you,
and islands, sirens, flowered leis you had.
You'll see I've changed one or two things.
I plowed the grapes all up, and filed for subsidy,
and subdivided lots to take a fling
in futures, made a killing trading wheat,
then hired a weaver, wow was he a find,
that goddamn loom was making me a hag
before my time. And husband, pay no mind
to talk, you know how blinded tongues can wag.
And now the Travel pages, please. Since you've
returned, safe from the seas, I'll plan a cruise.
