She needs new glasses
Skewed lenses upon her nose
Quaint, but not in style.
Many daily chores
Without them, would be chaos
Don't ever ignore.
Trash out on Thursday
Must be ready by Wednesday
Finish before dark.
Dishes from last night
Sticky pots and pans galore
Scrub, scrub, scrub, and scrub.
Wagging nagging dog
Must be fed its food right now
Looks of gratitude.
Bed to be made neat
Mitered corners of the sheets
Summer camping style.
Dusting every inch
Oh, from where did it all come
Air is not static.
Hard to see outside
Washing windows in and out
Must repeat next year.
Sweeping, sweep, sweeping
Ensure the bag is not full
Hoover here and there.
Scrubbing the tub clean.
Fungus built up on the drain
Now absolute white.
Tidy up the clothes
Piles of socks and other things
Folded neat just so.
Spiders way up high
Reach them oh so carefully
Release to the wild.
Refrigerator
Full of many unused things
Have we bought too much?
The car needs cleaning
So much grime both in and out
Wait 'til tomorrow.
Water potted plants
Each is lovingly nurtured.
Green throughout the house.
Dinner must be made
Oh, what to throw together
Satisfying taste?
Music to relieve
So many chores all the time
Sit and rest a bit.
Now it's back to work
A break was what was needed
Do the rest live so?
Lightbulb has gone bad
Do I have the correct watts?
Lesser must make do.
Always many chores
Guess who ends up in the fray
Still, noble women.
