Washing, ironing, cooking, cleaning The work is never done! Lunching, shopping, relaxing, reading I’ve heard is much more fun.
Sweeping, mopping, dusting, shining Who thinks up all these gigs? But what I really want to know right now Is who left open the barn door to let in the pigs?
Mowing, weeding, trimming, seeding Are mans work, but I’m all on my own I gave birth to a virtual army But housework is their No Go Zone!
Yelling, screaming, crying, keening Achieves naught but my puffy face I’ve given up such futile exercises That puts no one in their place.
I hear “Can you help me please” They hear “Blah Blah Blah” Maybe I need to learn sign language One gesture can go so far!
To this end I have ultimately decided And I really do think this is for the best To sit right down with drink in hand and Let the little piggies wallow in their own mess!
