Andy Chunn Poet Lyric

Listen to poem:

Dirty Dishes Blues

I went to my kitchen, and what did I see
All my dirty dishes, looking back at me
I got dishes - I got them dirty dishes
No matter what I say, no matter what I do
I got them - dirty dishes blues

My babe come to see me on a Friday night
She looked in my kitchen and said, you know that ain’t right
You got dishes - you got them dirty dishes
No matter what I say, no matter what I do
I got them - dirty dishes blues

When I get home, you know what I’ll do
I’ll get some water, make some soap suds too
And wash my dishes,  I’ll wash my dirty dishes
No matter what I say, no matter what I do
I got them - dirty dishes blues

My first husband used to say " we need a wife". We did get a housekeepr. Different times. I loved your poem. It made me smile, quickly brought me to the real world problem we all face of the jobs that are never truely done. I just make sure I show up for the ones they will truely miss me at. Loved your poem! - Susan Artimus The Poet
