A Husband Falters Poem by Donal Mahoney

A Husband Falters



Better take his wife to lunch
after what he said yesterday.
A slip of the tongue.

But where to take her?
The Chinese buffet?
The Indian buffet?

Maybe the Japanese place.
She likes sushi and tempura.
But when he asks about lunch

she says not a chance.
She has to clean the house.
Cleaning lady comes today.
