As His Mother Used to Do
The poem recalls a husband nagging about his wife by comparing her unfavorably to his mother. He faults her cooking and chores, while praising his mother’s standards. When the wife reaches her limit she strikes the same receptive response as his mother did, and the verse closes notelessly with a retired line.
