"Triolet Against Sisters"

Sisters are always drying their hair.
Locked into rooms, alone,
They pose at the mirror, shoulders bare,
Trying this way and that their hair,
Or fly importunate down the stair
To answer the phone.
Sisters are always drying their hair,
Locked into rooms, alone.

—Phyllis McGinley
