SILHOUETTE OF A HUSBAND, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Ladies classify husbands
Last Line: "I will not be home to dinner this evening."
Alternate Author Name(s): Hall, Galway
Subject(s): Marriage; Weddings; Husbands; Wives


LADIES classify husbands
Into two classes:
Those who are "attentive,"
And those who are not.
I fear I am of the latter,
For I never can remember
My home telephone number.

But my friend Chang Jo
Always knows his home number.
He calls up so often to say
"My dear,
I will not be home to dinner this evening."
