NOT AT ME 1976

A MAN AND HIS WIFE AND DISCONTENT AND LIFE IN 1976

She said she was bored
and wanted to go out
but no where
I suggested

quite fitted the bill
and so she sat
in the armchair
with a face on her

and said
we never go no where
we just sit
around the house

looking at TV
or read books
and I'm bored
and Gloria's husband

takes her places
and buys her
new dresses
and takes her

to posh restaurants
and he bought her
that new ring
gold it was

and she never gets bored
but me
I am always bored
unlike Gloria

isn't Gloria the dame
whose husband
went and left her
for that young dame

the one with sexy hip
movement
who looks
a hundred dollars

but who Gloria said
was a piece of sexy s**t?
I said
Netanya looked away

and stared at the TV
and not at me.
