A poem by Alice Duer Miller

Home And Where It Is

________________________________________________
Title:     Home And Where It Is
Author: Alice Duer Miller [More Titles by Miller]

(An Indiana judge has recently ruled: As to the right of the husband to decide the location of the home that "home is where the husband is.")


Home is where the husband is,
Be it near or be it far,
Office, theatre, Pullman car,
Poolroom, polls, or corner bar--
All good wives remember this--
Home is where the husband is.

Woman's place is home, I wis.
Leave your family bacon frying,
Leave your wash and dishes drying,
Leave your little children crying;
Join your husband, near or far,
At the club or corner bar,
For the court has taught us this:
"Home is where the husband is."
