The Phone

Work Text:

 

 

THE PHONE

I come home from work each day
just about the same time
and what I see when I do
always blows my mind...
you are still in your bathrobe
fuzzy pink slippers too
the curlers that are in your hair
should have been out, long ago, just like you
the baby's in her high chair
she's crying all the time
the food that was left on the stove
is burnt... it's a crime
you have that phone up to one ear
it's the same thing all the time
and I when I say, "how are you dear"
you look at me like I was slime.
I can't believe that you spend all day long
on the phone with a friend....
I just can't take it no more
this has got to end.
