Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

If I Had a Minion

If I had a minion he would be gloriously deferent to me.
He would wash my dishes, he would pay my bills.
He would do my dusting, and he would vacuum.

Uh-oh.
This is sounding suspiciously familiar.
This minion would cook my food, he would buy the groceries.
He would bring me sweet tea,
He would bring home pie.

I am so hoping my husband is not reading this one.
If I had a minion, I would love him forever, and call him Joe, right honey?

Rhona Mcferran September 11, 2018 at 6:46 PM Yes, I'm not sure how my husband would react to my comment on this, either... lol! Good luck, my friend! Caren Krutsinger September 11, 2018 at 1:28 PM My husband can react in one of two ways. I am bracing myself for it. Ha!
