HIS & HERS: a voyage through the Middle Age Crazies
       

9 - the Relationship------------------------------------------
HIS... and NOW

the women are organizing
in the kitchen
they want a living wage
for housework
and one of them
has it figured in such a way
that
the government would pay
which might be OK
until you consider
coming home
at the end of a hard day
to find
a teamster at the sink

10----------------------------------------------------------------
HERS... LORD NELSEN

My husband always drives
But once down in Texas
On an empty road
Rolling along with the tumbleweed
He was tired enough
To let me take the wheel

The camper rocking in the wind
I was Lady Nelsen at the tiller
of a great sailing ship
When suddenly Lord Nelsen
Came to,
"Did you see that?
There was a tumbleweed
Fifty feet in the air.
Pull over -- watch out
We'll be killed!
I'll drive."

"Act like a man, you baby,"
I said, the fun gone
As I pulled over.
He should be scared and miserable
At least half the time.
