Housework Poems

Housework Footles

I shirk
house work

my spouse
cleans house

I try
she sighs

get out
she shouts

I smirk
no work

I leave
well pleased

all day
I play

Submit the Words

I'm going to submit the words
the words that drive my daily thoughts
past wastelands of dirty laundry
and heaped up dishes that scream out
wash me while the water's hot
we're important, writing's not.

I can not seem to find the time
for sweeping all the dirt and grime
when all my thoughts reign far supreme 
while bathroom thrones remain unclean.
priorities remain

Housework

Housework
Can't shirk

Dust dirt
Desert

Dusting
Busting

In hand
Disband

Move forth 
With cloth

Wipe clean
Shine sheen

Wash clothes
Dirt goes

Hang out 
Line route

Switch on
Iron

Decrease
Each crease

Vacuum
Bedroom 

Wash floors 
And doors

No fun
Jobs done.

*Route pronounced rowt for rhyme purpose*

Housework

Who was it who said
Housework prolongs your life? 
Surely they jest! 
They can go take a hike

I've collapsed on the couch 
From just the mere thought 
After leaving it it far longer
Than I reasonably ought 

Where on earth do I start? 
I just can't decide where 
Each job worse than the last 
I feel down

Domestic Order

The kitchen's disinfected, the worktops squeaky clean,
The laundry's in the wardrobe and nothing's left in the machine.
The crockery is washed and dry, it's stacked in cupboards, looking neat.
There's just one nagging problem, I've got nothing left to eat!

She Loves Housework and Baking

She loves doing housework and cleaning her husband said.
He assumed this, as she enabled the rest of them to be pigs.
She expected to do the chores no one likes; it had been her mother’s life.
Her husband had no idea that his wife dreamed of an education.
She would have loved to take art, engineering or psychology

On Being Untidy

The more I let go of
these tiresome soul struggles,
the should haves,
the should bes, 
the more it is possible,
to be messy and
alive.

I Love Housework

I roning clothes – I love that job. Oh, my gosh!

L aundering them first is another one
O f numerous chores that let me wash
V arious things. Wash this or that. How fun!
E ven pots and pans! I must say . . . 

H ow much more pleasure can there even be?

Housework

There's more to keeping house,
Than washing dishes, sweeping floors.
You must wipe away the dirt,
From window sills and doors.

Picking up and straightening,
For certain is a must,
But if you want it to be clean,
It's wash and scrub and dust.

Because you ran the vacuum,
You think you've done a chore,
But did you wash the window panes?
Did you mop the

Than washing dishes, sweeping floors.
You must wipe away the dirt,
From window sills and doors.

Picking up and straightening,
For certain is a must,
But if you want it to be clean,
It's wash and scrub or bust.

Because you ran the vaccuum,
You think you've done a chore;
But did you wash the window panes?
Did you mop the

Paperwork and Housework Feelings

So many things to do today.
Things I love to do, and other things not so much fun.
Paperwork. Ugh. I wish it had never been invented.
Despise it, even online.  A never ending story.

Like housework.
Druggery that barely lasts long enough
For the ink to dry or the dust bunnies to settle.
I have a quirky mind that does

Housework Never Begun

There is a teensy tiny bit of hope in the recesses of my mind
That this house will clean itself. 
That I will wake up and it will be done.
The pages and piles and boxes and bags will 
Have miraculously disappeared overnight.

There is another part of me that 
Simply does not care.
I will tap into that

Housework

Dripping Dry
It’s fun not
to lie,
Dishes are done
let’s have some
Fun!
Friday Night
At last
Time for a Blast
Take it all in
Like a Dolphin
that swims

Hemming

hemming bell bottoms
summer radio blaring
   to seventies tunes
