The Honeymoon Is Over

The honeymoon is

And he has left for

Whistling something obvious from La

And carrying a brown calfskin attache caseI never dreamed he was capable of owning,

Having started the

With ten pushups and a cold

Followed by hearty breakfast.(What do we actually have in common?)The honeymoon is

And I am dry-mopping the

In a green Dacron dry-mopping outfit from Saks,

Wondering why I'm not dancing in the dark,

Or rejecting princes,

Or hearing people gasp at my one-man show,

My god, so beautiful and so gifted!(The trouble is I never knew a prince.)The honeymoon is

And we find that dining by candlelight makes us squint,

And that all the timeI was letting him borrow my comb and hang up his wet raincoat in my closetI was really

To stop letting him.

And that all the

He was saying how he loved my chicken pot pie,

He was really

To stop eating it.(I guess they call this getting to know each other.)
