I'm doing fourteen things at once. It's such a joyous life I'm homemaking on a farm, where jobs are ever rife a little of this a bit of that wax the paper, drink some cat dust the dishes, throw the dog out it makes me want to scream and shout make the baby wash the bed all these things go round my head sweep the washing on a cove scrub the parrot, oil the stove milk the pots and weed the lice dry the dandruff, feed the mice catch the polish, fold the corn all these tasks go on and on light the husband, bore the grill of all these things, I've had my fill I have worked from son to son thank goodness tasks are nearly done Oh no! oh no! It's five am time to do it all again Why do yesterdays remain and todays pass by ...unnoticed? Rex E. Alford |

Thank goodness you're not the farmer's wife...when would you get a chance to write such fun poems? Keep them coming!!! Pepper "A poem is the very image of life expressed in its eternal truth." Percy Bysshe Shelley |

Tiersdin, thanks for the response and I glad my poem didn't confuse you. Pepper, what would I do without your positive comments.... Sink like a stone I'm sure. Vicky, I'm glad it got you laughing Debbie, my sister's a farmer's wife does that count for anything. Although she's one of the worlds most amazingly organised people not like me.

Could I just take you out to dinner? You know the candlelight type, chilled bottle of wine, your choice of anything on the menu, soft music, and just talk about all the things you love aside from the being a wife. My intentions are strictly honorable! Maybe we could learn from each other..if nothing else we could discuss our common passion...poetry! Tell your husband I'll have you back before that clock strikes midnight in Canada...he he..whoops! |
