TOUCHE, by                    
First Line: Your little cat is soft and warm
Last Line: And slams the door!
Subject(s): Home


Your little cat is soft and warm,
Your babe is dearer still;
I envy you your tiny house
With roses and a hill.
I'd like to have that willow ware,
Those what-nots tucked in nooks;
And stay at lovely home all day
And read from novel books.
I wouldn't want to be you, though,
Not now -- nor evermore
And have a husband who comes home at night
And slams the door!
