She Does It All Every Day

Wakes before the fourth hour
  Straight into the shower
Gets dressed in a wink
  Downstairs in a blink

Quick cup of coffee
  A glance at the news
Washes all the dishes
  Plans the day's menus

Prepares all the food
  Fresh, tasty, so good
Works from home for an hour
  Revs up the brainpower

Drives to the train
  Sun, snow, or rain
At work by 8:30 a.m.
  Back to the grind again

She does it all every day
  With a smile on her face
My wonderful wife Rina
  Removes the rat from the race
