Should Vacuuming Be Listed As Full-Time Occupation

Is it any wonder that nobody likes vacuuming the floor,
Mention the word vacuum and there is a rush for the door.

Reading a newspaper or a woman's magazine is a dangerous occupation,
If the vacuuming has not been done.

If for the sake of long term security you are willing,
I will give you a shilling every time you find the vacuum working. 

Blocked pipes are another reason that vacuuming is so time consuming,
When others on a break are laughing instead of helping.

There are so many similarities in Vacuuming,
To what others call working for a living.

Tools that are useless,
Workmates who pull their weight less.

Never enough money for a new machine,
But always enough for a fishing line.

No interest in your invention,
Of a machine with more function.
 
A supervisor on your case,
You can never seem to please.

So, lets make it official,
Doing the vacuuming should be rewarded more than a little.

Premium Member Full-Time Job

living without love is a full-time job
a difficult task to accomplish
yet as workaholics we manage
through daily practice 
we achieve mastery

fools we are

Premium Member Dare To Dream

As I dare to dream 
A full-time fantasy. 
A wonderful wet dream. 
Perfect aspirations of a single wish, 
to start each day 
with but a taste of your lips. 
I dare not go further beyond perfect bliss. 
As my desires demand more of what I wish. 
If I could wrap myself around you, 
I would be content as your skin. 
Caressing the surface of your softness. 
Loving the pleasure of our warm embrace. 
I’m lost in love and taken to another place. 
Paradise is you and I, 
where ever we are, 
there’s no one in the whole world but us. 
As I dare to dream, 
I’ve never been to heaven. 
Instead, I spent the night 
making love with you.


Full-Time Love

A-im to show full-time love
B-efore the Almighty's sight; 
B-ecause it will truly set
Y-our faith and hope aright.

F-ull-time love of the heart
E-agerly warms each day; 
L-ife on October thirtieth
I-s blessed neath the skyway.
C-omplete the harmony
I-n the world watched from above; 
A-llow your soul to feel the Father's full-time love.

Full Time

I am a worker full time.
Every day, twenty four seven.
Most people are, yet they don't realize it.
The jobs are tough, and they take a lot of hard work.
I am always waist deep in work and thoughts.

I am a daughter,
Bound to do my best at everything,
Bound to be polite and kind,
Bound to be the best me I can be.

I am a sister,
Bound to take care of my sibling,
Bound to love and be loved.
Bound to fight for protection.

I am a girlfriend,
Bound to care for my other,
Bound to understand and be understood,
Bound to love with everything I can muster.

I am a student,
Bound to be perfect,
Bound to make honors,
Bound to get 100's only.

I am an athlete,
Bound to show up, 
Bound to push the bounds,
Bound to be first.

I am a musician,
Bound to love my product,
Bound to learn and figure it out,
Bound to play what I want.

I am an artist,
Bound to be creative,
Bound to put time into everything,
Bound to listen to me.

I am a worker full time.
Every day, twenty four seven.
Most people are, yet they don't realize it.
The jobs are tough, and they take a lot of hard work.
I am always waist deep in work and thoughts.

Full Time Dreamer

Full Time Dreamer


You must want for nothing,
To get all you wished for.
You must have lost everything,
To appreciate it all.


For once it has gone,
You see why it was so good.
You begin to see the bad points,
Weren’t as bad as they seemed.


But all that glitters, really isn’t gold,
And many lies have been told;
To ease your suffering and let you live again.
But no lies can erase the memories of the pain.


So wish for amnesia, or for someone to be true,
Wish for a better life, for me and you.
Wish for a change and it may come,
I simply wish you to be faithful
And I wish I could fall in love.

Full Time Wife, Full Time Mom, Part Time Me

When I was younger, I had dreams of a great career 
Independent woman, no husband or children in the future for many years 
Plans unravel causing adjustments and change 
Life isn't made to be prearranged 
Many women feel as I do and see what I see 
Full time wife, full time mom, part time me 
My time alone is precious and enjoyed 
But without our children we would have a giant void 
Later in life maybe things will slow down 
Life is a lot of sink or swim, I won't allow myself to drown 
Cooking, cleaning, paying bills, busy as a bee 
Full time wife, full time mom, part time me 
Sometimes when life seems so much out of control 
There are times when I feel like a prisoner with no chance for parole 
We've had some setbacks, with very little victory 
I ask myself what changes would make me happy 
All of us ladies are a full time wife, full time mom, a part time m
