i ask my wife
as we
sit in the peaceful house,
reading
the paper and drinking coffee.
sure, why not.
a couple would be nice,
a boy and a girl.
but kids are so hard on the furniture
i tell her,
and at an early age
they're very sticky,
they put everything in their
mouth.
not to mention diapers
and the eventual endless
morning soccer games
in the boon docks.
then those gnarly teenage
years
when they don't talk to us.
should we just settle for one?
she says.
maybe.
but how about a starter dog,
or cat.
a goldfish in a bowl?
very little trouble there.
it will never ask for the car
keys.
