Some Advice from a Mother to Her Married Son
~Judith Viorst~
The answer to do you love me isn't,
I married you, didn't I?
Or, Can't we discuss this after
the ballgame is through?
It isn't, Well that all depends
on what you mean by 'love'.
Or even, Come to bed
and I'll prove that I do.
The answer isn't, How can I talk about love
when the bacon is burned and
the house is an absolute mess and
the children are screaming their heads off
and I'm going to miss my bus?
