We'Ll Do It Next Weekend

Got to fix the car’s flat tire
the grass needs to be cut
All the gutters need to be cleaned
and fix the gate that won’t stay shut

Winterize the doors and windows
wash the grime from the car
Clean off the garage shelves
just to find where all the tools are

Pull the weeds out of the garden
test the water in the pool
Change out the furnace filters
make sure the condenser is running cool

Repair that leaky faucet
find out where the dog is getting out
Go across the road to the neighbors
to see what his digging is all about

Run down to the hardware store
buy tools for a project I’ll never start
Cut down that vine out back
before it tears the siding apart
 
The roof needs some new shingles
I have to watch some football with the friends
Nascar, basketball, fishing, and hunting
it seems that a husband’s work never ends

Count all them chores a husband does 
adds up to be about one thousand and two
It’s no wonder I’m so blamed tuckered out
by the time the weekend is through
