The gentleman

The gentleman

The gentleman
woke up at 7am,
brushed, washed
and ate white oats
and bulls eye with
his dutiful wife.

In his office,
after signing
official files,
made love
with his secretary
and gave her
a ball pen
as festival gift.

In the bar,
after his
usual drink,
asked the waiter
to give the bill
to his glass mate.

Back at home
after dinner,
in the blue light
of the bedroom,
under the
fluffy blanket,
he told his wife,
“darling, life
is getting nasty
with so many
tramps around”.
