6. Gedicht anno dazumal 50er Jahre Szene: Mann kommt von der Arbeit heim. Wenn die Küchenuhr zeigt sechs Uhr Abends Frau Hanne hantiert fleißig mit der Pfanne Da kommt von weitem her der strenge Kaufmanne namens Hanne und schreitet eilends voran in die duftende Stube wo er seine Frau sittsam mit einem Wangenkuss begrüßt die errötet unter ihrer Küchenhaube und während sie das Essen noch ein letztes Mal abschmeckt befasst sich Herr Hanne mit der Abendzeitung und während er da lesend sitzt hat Frau Hanne ihm bereits die Schuhe ausgezogen, ihm seine Pantoffeln übergezogen und ist geschwind davon geflitzt um ihren Jungen von der Stube nebenan zu holen und als er dem lieben Vati die schlechte Mathenote beichtet hat dieser schon begonnen weit auszuholen um den Jungen zu versohlen.

7. Nach dem Essen betrachtet Herr Hanne das blank geputzte Heim das nach seiner Ansicht noch immer nicht sauber genug erscheint Frau Hanne verneint empört und schwört den ganzen lieben Tag die Fliesen geschrubbt zu haben und Herr Hanne möge doch sich lieber an den frisch gemachten Kuchen laben der da steht in der behaglichen Wohnstube und Herr Hanne zieht brummelnd von dannen um sich vor dem offenen Feuer zu entspannen und kurz darauf als er ist eingeschlafen Frau Hanne heimlich eine Schublade öffnet und hervorzieht ein geheimes Buch mit dickem Ledereinbande.

8. Doch sie liest nicht lange als Herr Hanne wieder erwacht und aufgebracht seine ungebildete Frau lesen sieht und nicht recht weiß wie ihm geschieht. Er sagt ihr er würde sie am liebsten bestrafen sie sei schließlich seine Frau und müsse nicht lesen können und sich ihrer häuslichen Pflichten entsinnen. Frau Hanne schluckt folgsam ihren Ärger hinab und händigt ihm unter Tränen das Buch aus Das Herr Hanne sogleich wirft ins Feuer und sich die Kohlestücke ergötzen an dem Leichenschmaus da begab sich Frau Pfanne nun greinend ins Schlafzimmer und lies ihren Tränen freien Lauf worauf Herr Hanne eintritt und die Szene mit Kopfschütteln kommentiert und schweigend ihr Verhalten als unsittsam notiert.
