Just A Housewife     

                                                    Day after day, all melt into one,

                                              As the housewife's chores are never done.

     Make the breakfast and feed the kids,

                                                      I thought, yesterday, this is what I did!

                                                If it's not summer, they're off to school,

                                            Maybe the teachers can teach them some rules;

                                                    Do the dishes and make the beds,

                                                      It seems I will never get ahead!

                                                    

                                                 Gather the laundry and wash the clothes,

                                                 Now, how did I ever miss a pair of those?

                                               Closets each day must be cleaned and resorted,

                                                 And under their bed, a snake's been reported!

                                           Gathering dirty clothes, is like searching for treasure,

                                                Hiding their duds gives kids so much pleasure;

                                                     Even the food items don't hit the basket,

                                             Concealed old apple cores, make me blow a gasket!

                                                     A housewife must be a sort of detective,

                                               And there's no paycheck, cuz the job's an elective!

                                                    Having cleaned and scoured and disinfected,

                                                      You get the rewards that are least expected.  

                                           The children are home and their books are just dumped,

                                                   And now you have entered the 3 o'clock slump.

                                                     Snacks are in order and then there is dinner,

                                                            This is no job for just a beginner!

                                                      A housewife is special in stamina and spirit,

                                                    No other job makes demands that come near it.

                                                        The same old routine, day in and day out;  

                                                           Even in factories, you get a time out!

                                                     So, if you're a housewife and getting the blues,

                                                       Remember, not many can fill out your shoes.

                                                         A true endangered species...the family tree,

                                                     For there is no "family", without those like me!

                                               The flowers on the table, homemade biscuits and stew,

                                                    Are touches, not just anyone can find time to do.

                                                 The helping with homework, the wiping the tears;

                                                 A profession that's endured for thousands of years.

                                                      The Libers may come, the Libers may go.

                                                   And who is there really to show them some woe?

                                                    For memories are made, by those who are giving,

                                                   Thus giving a housewife, a life that's worth living!
