Desperate Housewife

Always on a razor’s edge In the loony cage Now opening this window Now closing that Now busy at this arrow Now tackling the aching marrow For the sweet bones moves the cat The wolf seeks to shift From old veins to a fresh rainbow Comes up the superintendent (As the psychoanalyst says) The disguise is recognizable The fruit of social venoms is terrible Dusk or dawn The train therefore pulls on With the chores floors sores roars galore Profound rubbish Calling for the female cannabis Kisses without kinesis Daily travesty of compulsive synthesis No beak and obviously no peaks Same old debris and I can take it no more It’s bloody hell Better to regress to the cat In an empty flat

This truly is excellent, Probir. It sums up suburbia and the plight of the "Put-Upon-Housewife" superbly - Very good indeed!! An obvious seven. My best regards. :) john
