Laughter by Michael Estabrook

Michael Estabrook is a recently retired baby boomer child-of-the-sixties poet freed finally after working 40 years for “The Man” and sometimes “The Woman.” No more useless meetings under florescent lights in stuffy windowless rooms. Now he’s able to devote serious time to making better poems when he’s not, of course, trying to satisfy his wife’s legendary Honey-Do List.

Cynthia Oliver:
Thank you, I laughed out loud when I read your poem and am sending my sons copies. Your Mother and I would have enjoyed each other's humor.

I like this one. Reminds me of the kindly property man who told a 90 year old she could stay in the house as long as she lived. She died at108!
