Some things demand an answer
Some things demand an answer;
Others, silence:
A husband must have a wife,
To answer to him;
A wife must have a dog,
To answer her demands;
The dog would have a bone,
Which quietly strangles him in the night-
Some things demand a silence.
Others, silence:
A husband must have a wife,
To answer to him;
A wife must have a dog,
To answer her demands;
The dog would have a bone,
Which quietly strangles him in the night-
Some things demand a silence.

i really like the sound and rhythm of this poem. repetition of the line: "Some things demand a silence" bonds the whole piece together; each line is tied with the other
