The Housewife

If you do a little housework every day Then on the weekend you’ll have time to play A housewife s work is never done Working from morning to setting sun. Sweeping, dusting and mopping, always moving And never stopping. Washing clothes and ironing too So many things that you must do. Then the cooking and doing the dishes Picking up in back of the kids and feeding the fishes. Then trying to look pretty for when your husband gets home So at your tired appearance he won’t throw stones. Then when your day is through, a CALGON bath is what you do. (Calgon take me away) Just lying in the tub to unwind, and in another hour you’ll be fine. The comfort of your bed is looking so good And you’re wondering if you should. Then your husband has that gleam in his eye And you’re hoping that he doesn’t try. Then the comment was all it took, of how good you always look. Then he holds you in his arms and releases all his charms And makes all your aches and pains go away And this ends the housewife s day. © L. RAMS 032515
