In the kitchen There's no fire, for all the coal is used; We're living on canned soup, and Ann has left— she felt abused Because the dishes don't go round—she didn't like the din— She said, “There's not a place downstairs that's fit to ask him in’’— We're moving. The bedroom Is no better; the bureau drawers are packed With “odds and ends’’; to find a brush each drawer must be ransacked; The brass bed’s swathed with rags, the chairs are tied in little stacks; JOHN 1.
