My gorge rises, my blood boils. Exasperated I bite my envenomed tongue. Incensed I spout mad words that have no meaning defending my attitude, maintain my poise. I bait, fret and nag, like a tantalizing volcano that has yet to decide whether to erupt or not. Don't answer me back, Twill only fan the flames of my irritable ire. For if I erupt, then there is no going back. Don't goad me into a quarrel, my lava burns. So beware. She leaves never to return. Good. After all what is she? A lazy domestic cleaner that performs half the work assigned And get paid in full for it. My wife smiles. She’s glad the cleaner is gone for good. She is too sexy for comfort.

A lazy housemaid doesn’t deserve to be paid, worse still is if she’s dressed to kill. An entertaining read Victor… Belle

Lol! Victor, If my maid( If I could afford one) looked that she wouldn't have gotten hired in the first place:-) Alexis

lol I've seen of few people like that. The ones who coast by at work on their looks without doing much work. The good part is they don't last long. They are soon found out for what they are and are sent packing. Loved this. Thanks bunches. God Bless, JB

If the maid was doing half the work and getting paid in full, it's no wonder there is such anger! An engaging and cute verse. Hugs, Evelyn :D

I can see from the photo--her posture says she won't return. A bit of jealous vibes towards the end.

How wonderful it is that your kindness and the kindness of your Wife (RIP) combined with your fiery temper, allowed you to move on and forget about the cleaning girl's shoddy work. I liked your last line: She is too sexy for comfort.
