Now, unfortunate man, get ready to eat
cold dinners, filled with grit, on the back
steps or in hand-out fashion most any
where, and also to tear your finger nails
off shaking carpets, peel the bark from
your shins from ankle to knee joint on
buckets and tubs of soap-suds left stand
ing in dark halls and obscure corners.
Prepare also to see the wife of your bosom,
the dainty little angel you led to the altar,
picture of heaven transformed to red
faced woman rushing around with her
head tied up in an old rag, face streaked
with SCOT and lime, her beautiful swanlike
neck ornamented with strings of dirty
cobwebs, clad in dingy, greasy old
wrapper that makes her look the same size
and shape from feet to shoulders, her
fairy-like feet in run down hose and worn
out, bursted slippers that look like old
fried fritters yes, get ready, man, to suffer
almost unto death, for the spring house
cleaning is near at hand. May heaven
help you, for there is no hope on earth for
you when this storm bursts upon you.
The dark brown taste of it will linger in
your mouth for many weeks.
