my june cleaver

i'm convinced that june cleaver
was not who she
pretended to be
on the show.

the apron, the dress, the hair
done just so.
her polite demeanor
to wally and ward,
the rascally beave,

was all a hoax.
i think she was a wild woman.
a minx
in the sack.

an angry woman who smoked
two packs
a day. unfiltered.

she liked to dance.
she liked her rye whiskey.

she liked to raise hell and
curse like
a sailor on leave.

in real life she'd have given
eddie haskell a hard smack
across the cheek.

i'd prefer to think of her that
way.
instead of the act.
