The dishwasher is full again,the whir of washing soaks my brain,

The cat has brought in headless mouse, a whirlwind has destroyed the house,

The floor is thick with muddied dog,I stare around my eyes agog,

I'm not sure where to really start,I grab a mop with heavy heart,

The dog gives me saddened wag,drops at my feet a filthy rag,

I hold his toy before my eyes,feel my blood begin to rise,

My best blouse is now shabby chic,adorned with hair and saliva sleek,

I pick my way through chaos true,remove myself from hellish view,

I settle down with coffee mug,sit with Yucca freshly dug,

My dog shakes earth with relish glee, I close my eyes, Oh! Lucky me!
