You Have No Idea
you say I'm just a housewife
and I don't work as hard as you
you think I live an easy life
with no real work to do
each morning I make the bed
then pick up all your clothes
a to do list in my head
longer than this poem shows
go clean up the den
then off to the laundry room
head into the kitchen
another dance with the lazy broom
run to the corner market
get dinner in the Crock Pot
oh, Lord, what did I forget?
11 a.m. and I'm already shot
I sit down to write
hoping for a masterpiece
in for another fight
to get creativity to increase
then it's off to the living room
clean the crumbs you left on the couch
head to clean the bathroom
bang my knee on the tub, OUCH!
by the end of the busy day
I'm lusting for my bed
but fall asleep? no way!
still not done and tomorrow's list already in my head!
