    The dread creature that Frankenstein fashioned / had no livelihood— much too impassioned. / Both the bolts in his neck / were contrived as low-tech, / and attachments, if any, were rationed. /// But the creature’s helpmate has a trade. / Her design allows her to get paid. / Bolted into her throat / is a yoke. You will note, / she was made an ideal dairy-maid.

    Katiska was asked if it hurt,

    that yoke sprouting out of her shirt.

    “No, it helps me tote more,

    “but I’ve such a small door,

    “it’s a bitch getting out of my yurt.”

    Might setting it out be a plan…?

    “Yes, I do that when bedding my man.

    “But guys in the village,

    “accustomed to pillage,

    “won’t keep their damned hands off my can!”

    Staid Joanna is never dismayed. / Never wild, overjoyed or afraid. / For her husband ensured / that to work she’s inured. / Now Joanna’s a Stepford milkmaid.

    Those milk-cans which hang from wood holders, / when full are as heavy as boulders. / But the maid isn’t stressed. / After work she gets dressed / in an ‘80’s gown (extra-wide shoulders). /// Eighteen -eighty’s the date, it is true, / but all fashion repeats, never new. / She attracts local lads / with her wood shoulder-pads. / Will a Dynasty prequel ensue?

    As “gym-wards” she painfully plods/ shei s planning to pump her “quads“:/ her “delts” and her “traps”/ are prone to mishaps:/ still, she thinks she can beat the odds../// “The Olympia’s” still months away/ and she’s training like hell every day:/ though she looks like a mutt/ she’s amazingly “cut”/ beneath those sad garments of gray./// Any price she will willingly pay/ to extract her feet from this clay,/ so she’s blasting her “lats”/ and foregoing all fats/ though her “abs” may yet lead her astray.. /// and if she should somehow lose/ she will then take a “singles cruise”:/ a few weeks at sea/ with a boyfriend (or three)/ then it’s back to those wooden shoes…

    As she grew up, she never was blue / Never thought of the work she would do. / Then they loaded her shoulders / With cans like two boulders / And said, “Honey, the yoke is on you.”

    Her yoke is for spreading the load./ It’s less painful than whip, or than goad./ We’re extremely humane/ (unlike farmers in Spain/ whose ploughs by their daughters are towed.)/// This girl is petite and demure/ hence her “easier” sinecure./ Were she somewhat more crude/ she’d be swiftly subdued/ like her sister – who spreads the manure…/// I sing of a life on the farm-/ of its earthy, malodorous charm-/ of the warmth of your neighbors/ (fights with scythes – not with sabers)/ Could there be any possible harm?/// Rusticity speaks to the soul:/ where a man’s on the land – not the dole../ where the “gummint” you hate/ and you dictate your fate/ at least till the next Dust Bowl…

    Is there any question that it was a male fashion designer who invented the yoke?

    Suzette finally figured out how Lauren Bacall got that big shoulder look but failed to realize that her clothes should go over the yoke. (Also, that she should ditch the milk buckets – stupid Suzette!)

    Staid Johanna, quite frankly, seems staid/

    But her homecoming may be delayed

    Since those jugs that she lugs/

    Are laden with drugs/

    Not (as she insists) with lemonade.
