'Wail of a Worn Out Wife'

'Wail of a Worn Out Wife'

Is there a place

Across the sea

Where I could go

And just be me?

Not caring what

A person thought

'Bout what I did

Or what I bought?

Or how I looked

Or what I said

What time I woke

Or went to bed?

If I was happy

Or I was sad

If I was good

Or I was bad?

If my hair curled

Or just hung straight?

If I was early

Or I was late?

If I was fat

Or I was thin?

Or wrinkles had

Or double chin?

Is there a place

Across the sea

Or must I die

"Fore I can be?
