Pete Lee on the Other Side of the
HOLY WEEK
This woman I work with
once studied to be a nun
but got married instead
of taking her vows
Now she has six kids
and one cheating husband
but she still puts on this
virgin act during Holy Week
She goes so far
as to clap her hand over
her mouth whenever she's
afraid she'll laugh
"Holy Week's not supposed
to be fun" she tells me and I
flash back to high school
when I tried out
for the JV football team
Hell Week they still call it
and one day after practice
I was so dry when I got home
I drank a whole gallon
of apple juice with dinner
then spent all night
on the toilet
That was no fun either
