I used to get all the cleaning done when my husband was at work
Then when he came home he could relax without a lot of extra noise
a good thing too, because his nine TV sets make enough racket

now I am the one who comes home from work, and he starts cleaning
It is obvious no cleaning has been done until the second I get home
Fresh off a fortyminute drive, I desperately need peace and quiet.

Mostly quiet.
But here comes Mr. Clean with his vacuum cleaner and his dishwasher.
Vroom Vroom Rackety Rack Rackety Rack
He was home all day long
Nine and a half of these hours I was gone.
He could not have cleaned then?
Vroom
Vroom
Rackey
Rack
It is infuriating
