She Loves Housework and Baking
She loves doing housework and cleaning her husband said.
He assumed this, as she enabled the rest of them to be pigs.
She expected to do the chores no one likes; it had been her mother’s life.
Her husband had no idea that his wife dreamed of an education.
She would have loved to take art, engineering or psychology classes.
She likes baking and cooking her children told everyone.
They signed her up to bring pies and cakes everywhere.
School, church, girl scouts, boy scouts – they signed her up.
She woke up early to bake, so she would not disappoint anyone.
After the children left, she left also. Finally chasing her dreams.
She has gone crazy her family said for they had never known her.
