Mrs. O’Malley
from across the alley
has another small job
for my father to do
which makes my mother
unhappy because
Mrs. O’Malley’s been
bothering Father for years,
parading around in shorts
and halter top, watering
flowers in her yard
when Father goes out
to cut the grass and weed.
Neighbor ladies have
warned my mother
about Mrs. O’Malley
from across the alley
because too many husbands
have too often helped
Mrs. O’Malley too well.
