And What Is Your Wife Doing? Poem by RIC BASTASA

well, she is in the music room
singing the Anne Murray songs

as i make my poems for the day
writing about Anne Murray

and why do you ask? oh i know
it is true we are not talking, precisely

because she is singing and i am into
this poetry writing and yes, i ask you

why do you keep on reading?
every poem that i write, oh my, why?

alright, friends forever there shall be
no denying, and too truth telling, see?
