The Watched Pot
'A watched pot never boils'...
well, that's not entirely true
I've scrubbed the stove for hours
removing burnt on sticky goo
I guess I'm easily distracted
from trying to multitask
cooking tea while washing windows
is a monumental ask
stuff falls down onto the floor
every dish is in the sink
I can't find the potato peeler
I'm completely out of sync
so, a watched pot always boils
in my house, anyway
overflowing on stove and bench
if I dare to look away!
