An Ideal Wife

An Ideal Wife By Elton Camp She keeps her house spotlessly clean No irritating clutter will ever be seen The laundry basket empty will stay Clothes folded and neatly put away Crisp, fresh sheets will be on the bed “It needs changing” never has to be said About the kitchen, hubby needn’t think No dirty dishes found piled into the sink Delicious meals she will always prepare To serve leftovers, she never will dare She would not think of being so rude As to have in the fridge spoiled food The shopping she always keeps done To the store, her hubby needn’t run Dust on the furniture is never to be found Sparkling windows are the cleanest around The bathroom tile, including all the grout Is shining and free of mold without a doubt The cleanest toilet bowl is her ambition And she leaves the seat in the up position She strictly limits all her telephone chat As she hasn’t time to waste like that The in-laws’ visit she is glad to see “No need to call,” she will decree To a household budget she’ll adhere So the bank account is always clear In addition, she holds an outside job Never can she be called a lazy slob

LOL, look at all the responses. I was trying to rattle the cages a bit and it worked. Now that I have described the "ideal" Stepford wife, it would be fun if somebody would write a poem describing the 'ideal" husband. Elton

No you couldn't call her a slob but you could call her husband a slave driver. Just unbelievable what men expect of women.
