 Happy Anniversary, Honey | by Andrea Avery

 
Punch,

a pyramid of donuts,
fluffy cake and spirits.
Bubbly out of plastic cups.
Bourbon for the priest,
who smiles under the cuckoo clock.

 

In the basement rec room,
Mr. Million gives Mrs. Million
a mink stole.
More drinks all around.
The postman gets fresh with the sister-in-law.
Junior feels up a cousin in the laundry room.
Uncle Henry pisses his pants.
Happy Anniversary, Honey.
