stained window, sees herb garden....

An housewife in need of a poke
Was charmed by a sweet-talking bloke
He gave her what-for
Then dashed out the door
Because he mis-spoke and he's broke...

The lonely housewife was bored
So, she hopped into her fiery ford
Drink and danced all night
Then got into a fight
She tussled and gourd until she was floored...

Who shook out her mop in the air
The dust whirled like stars
The Earth, Moon, and Mars-
Who’s shaking a dust mop up there?...

Passion for her deprives of peace my life
She is inaccessible because of my poverty
If I live further - I'll get a precious property...

The hands in being now
Occupied with this
Unburdened somehow.
Digging up the weed
Dead heading flower.
Cares of the housewife
Composted this hour....

A housewife cum call-girl
Gives me a little bit of it
Her husband is a drug-addict
And she has a kid to bring up
Anyways thanks God she is
To try to cure my love disease....

I keep getting spam emails
From Ms Fatale Attraction
Who is a bored housewife
Looking for some hot action
With a younger man, if poss
So if I keep receiving her siren-ing
I might just reply to her
Then I can send her my ironing...

As the apricot sun rises, 
In the hollow creek rise flows like fog
Biting cold surrounds me
Shivering happens from my toes up

The warmth of the house's interior
Invites me to come in
Even though duty awaits the housewife
A day of ordinary begins...

A frustrated housewife called Mia
Wore nighties so skimpy and sheer
There’s no roll in the clover
Hubby snored and turned over
His impotence is her greatest fear

Yesterday I saw a pic of actress Mia Farrow and had a bit of fun with the word play with her name

Another load of ironing
Another meal to make.
I wish we’d all stop dining
So I need not cook or bake.

Another room needs cleaning.
Another floor to sweep.
My life has lost it’s meaning.
I feel so sad, I weep.

But there are rays of sunshine,
With songbirds in the flowers.
And on these sights my mind will dine.
I’ll be happy within hours....

You can’t be serious
She’s nothing but a hag
Her clothes don’t match
Her hair’s a mess
She can’t be bothered
To wear a dress
No lipstick, blush or style at all
Her hips have got that housewife sprawl
How could you prefer her to me
When it’s clear my equal she
Will never be
As for brains, she’s sadly lacking
If I were you I’d send her packing...

The furniture needs a dusting
The floors mopped and swept
The bathroom needs a scrubbing
The evening  meal to prep

Dirty dishes line the counter
The laundry's in a heap
Pet hair on the cushions
The windowpanes are streaked

In such disarray, I'm overwhelmed
I really should get hopping
But, tomorrow IS another day
I think I'll just go shopping!...
