Washing-up, scrubbing down
Defrosting, hoovering, fluffing downe
This constant onslaught never ends
Housework takes over, no time for friends
So much to think about , so little time
My thoughts obsessed with dirt and grime
Add a dash of kids and oily Jim
and this cleaning nightmare becomes quite grim
The endless heaps of grubby clothes
The dirty dishes, my cooking woes
Mr. Muscle, Loo the duck
The endless battle to beat the muck
Ciilitbang, Domestos, Mr. Min
which one's best, where do I begin
Call in the Cavalry, lend me a hand
So we can dissolve this one-man band.

Poetry: Housework

Washing-up, scrubbing down
Defrosting, hoovering, fluffing downe
This constant onslaught never ends
Housework takes over,
DOMESTIC BLISS:
My house is not a showplace
‘Twas never meant to be
Just a place for peace and comfort

Dust and dirt and dishes and clothes
Busy spiders and running hose-
Seems as if there is no end

And Chores,
And then
Housework
Run the vacuum
Trail a wet mop
Wash the windows
Then the bathroom
I rattled off my daily housework
Scrub and clean,
by Kelly Olsen
Scrub, scrub, scrubby
Time to wash the tubby
Dashing here to wipe that spill,
stooping down to pick that up.
Laundry, dishes,
