Corners of Thirst
Thirst is a sand-drift,
but when quenched,
it’s as satisfied as a housewife
who’s spent her days at home
with a bowl of salted crisps
and a glass of dry sherry.

I remember when that particular vacuum was all the rage…
And also when it was expected that housewives (who didn’t have maids) – actually cleaned house in their pearls and dresses… And I’m guessing more than a few had their stashes of munchies and drinks.

“Leave it to Beaver” the TV show (1950’s and early 1060’s) always had the Mom in a dress and pearls… Of course she had an apron while cooking. But never a hair out of place. Though I don’t think she’d have a stash of chips or drink during the day.
