when did I
earnestly stipulate:
one more coffee,
and I'll start to mop
and thoroughly clean

..thanks Jerry..i'm glad you saw the humor;
kyoka are supposed to be humorous..i did make a slight change in Line 5, though

..it was: and clean immaculately

but now i believe "and immaculately clean"
reads better..i appreciate your comments, Jerry

I think it works very well, dear Spiros, the way it is now.

... and oh, can I relate!

Thanks for the smiles.

Love,
Margherita

I think 'thoroughly' perfectly fits with 'coffee', my friend, whereas 'immaculately' would better fit with 'latte' (and not as down-to-earth as your piece suggests.

I like it as it is.

This brought great smiles...
especially since the cleaning
lady and I attacked the house
yesterday...

and when it was over, and I bent
over to do even more, I wondered,
"would I have the energy to do this
if she hadn't helped?"

So I stipulated to put her back
on my calendar, every two weeks.

And now, to my morning coffee...
knowing the house is CLEAN!

LOL
