Ode to a housewife

I have published this poem before, but I think it bears repeating.  So for those of you who may be new to this blog, here goes :

Ode to a Housewife


Now I lay me down to sleep

Alas my house I could not keep.

Kitchen, floors and laundry to do

But distractions came and time flew.

I did accomplish a few things

but many of them contained calories

I find that on a cool rainy day

I am less apt to work and more apt to play

At cooking and baking in my kitchen

Making chocolate cookies and fried chicken

So while my waist gets wider and my house is still cluttered

I look to tomorrow to find another

Day in which to give a try

To keep my house as women gone by
