Housewife's Lament

Just a little bit down, a little depressed,
Feeling blue and a little bit stressed.
The weekend came, the weekend went,
It was, on the whole, another non-event.
Monday morning, not much to report.
No better today, not even a thought.
Smile bravely on, put feelings aside.
Fight that urge to just run and hide.
Pick up the clothes, cook one more meal,
Wash all those dishes, no time to feel!
Ain't life a bitch when you're feeling so blue,
And inside you're screaming but no-one hears you?

A shadow flees through the night
Swift and stealthy
A demon
with glowing red eyes
She stops
in front of a bistro
Moves in,
closing
