Housecleaning
My house smells
Of furniture polish,
Of floor cleaners and wax
The rugs are free of dog hair
And the kitchen sparkles.
There are clean sheets
And a gleaming tub,
And the floors shine!
I, older now and
Never the best housekeeper,
Bow down to the hard working
Women who come and
Scrub and vacuum and polish,
Often singing as they work,
Who leave my house
Once again, clean and
Comfortable, and best of all,
Smelling sweet and fresh!
