Soccer moms and sander scars Suburban life is strange. Play dates and in-line skates Schedules to re-arrange. Yoga teachers and lay preachers And those are not a metaphor. Costco trips and air-kiss lips Nobody trusts a bachelor.
Coupon savers in SUVs Never use turn signals. Driving while chatting hands-free Wearing golden **** whistles. Appointments to make daily With exercise gurus. Cocktail luncheons for charity Toddlers wearing tutus.
Traffic jams of cars and vans Honking at each other. Double parking on narrow streets Calling each other mothers. Starting out fifteen minutes late As is the usual way. Somehow never figuring out how To have an on-time day.
Screeching home a night in time To throw together a meal. Watch television with family And pretend that is all real. Put the kids to bed right on time Try to have quality time. While the other half is half-asleep From that second glass of wine.
