A Visit From My Housekeeper

Her I am sitting writing a poem While my housekeeper is bury cleaning my apartment I feel a little guilty She is working hard while I am just moving a pen along a piece of paper Still poetry is listed as an occupation in the Occupational Outlook Handbook So I guess I am working, too In September I return to work as a college assistant Devoting the rest of my time to the New York Giants, poetry and looking for love

Great poem. Of course it's work. We're not lazy like those heavy construction guys.
