Today My Wife Is Having Company
Today, my wife is having company
First, there are some tasks which she needs from me:
to sweep the drive and to trim back the tree,
to check trash cans in the house are empty,
vacuum the carpet, restock the pantry,
mop tile floors and scour grout on my knees,
dust under tables and backs of TVs
wash windows in rooms where no one will be,
and clean nooks even a mouse wouldn't see.
Soon, guests arrive prompt at quarter past three.
"So glad you could come, " I say tiredly,
"I'll be asleep if you're looking for me."
