the dolled-up housewife
She’s a dolled-up housewife, poured with Honey’s money.
Only likes to glamp in secret; Meet her “Daddy”.
When stealthy escapes became her wild musings,
Each of those sleepless nights, she is slowly losing…
Her vows are filled with betrayal and deception.
Actions become an impure rage and obsession.
Breakfast lies are best served when the clock stops at six.
“Call me tonight

Housewife Handbook
oh, wow! The housewife handbook
given to me by six people in my husband’s family
they all got thrown out the window the same day
from an apartment we rented ten stories up from the sidewalk
have a drink ready for him when he comes home
have his favorite music playing
have his dinner ready to serve hot
do everything you can

Charlotte Is Housewife Not Wife
Charlotte kept the house cleaner than anyone else.
She washed and scrubbed and vacuumed until it was an obsession.
Her husband wanted her time, but she had none to spare.
As a housewife, she was determined to deep clean daily.
Her house was her kryptonite; she was super cleaner.
Let’s go on vacation, he would say. Let’s stay in bed

A Traditional Housewife
The woman married at a young age
to the eldest son of a farmer-
my maternal uncle and neighbor.
Usually, she woke up early at the crow's caw
and swept the dirt floor of the house with a broom
often wiping it with water and a nura ( wet cloth )
After that she took a bath, changed her clothes
and

Housewife
Who m I just a housewife
Without any dreams
Or ambitions in life
So what if I was good with ciphering game
I got stucked while deciphering life aim
Now I use my mathematical skills
Only to calculate household bills
So what if I was good with studies
I failed to keep close buddies
Now Im lost in a lonely planet
With no friends by

Guess What Word Irritates Me
Guess which word irritates me in this poem?
If you do not figure it out, you can read my notes.
Who has the most clout? A carwife or a housewife?
Do we have to factor in the dollar amount paid for the car
and the house?
Would the two million dollar housewife be worth more or less than the
one

Agony of a Housewife
When was the last time you said "how was your day?"
Or simple hello bae
All you care about is your fame
Your picture in the frame
While my heart you tame
Daily I shed tears on my pillow
Since you have suddenly turned my source of sorrow
Probably you may change tomorrow
Your job I everyday I blow
But my body you daily

The Housewife
I must have left the window up
For a creature came inside.
She was bright and beautiful, with ornate wings;
You would never believe your eyes.
"What are you doing here, little thing?
The meadow is your home.
You are much too stunning, lovely, wonderful,
To be in the dreary dome.
But you might just be the perfect thing
To give this house some

A Desperate Housewife - In Limerick Form
A desperate housewife I knew
had such mundane housework to do.
Being so tired of it,
she decided to quit.
Then off to Las Vegas she flew.
Having always been such a lithe girl,
she thought “I’ll give dancing a whirl!”
Her audition went well.
From a large oyster shell
She emerged, so they all dubbed her Pearl.
Her skin, soft and fair, shone like

Desperate Housewife
I used to be a boss in the cut-throat business world
Until the day I woke and everything I ate I hurled
My belly grew, my energy shrank, so I "simplified" my life
Added two sons, lost bladder control, now I'm a desperate housewife!
It seemed so easy at the time, no tedious nine to five
Cook some meals, clean
