What I really want my valentine Though I tried hard to explain Is for you to always understand Bring the clothes in when it rains And what I hope from you my darling While you're busy on the run Is that when you iron you'll remember Silk undies don't get done You do well house-husband But what I really want from you Is to remember never starch My camisole of blue And I want you to recollect As you sweep and mop and dust Two are the things you cannot mix It's our kids and canned kill-rust And as you pull the vacuum Round the house with kids attached Please try hard not to scream When you vacuum up the cat What I really want this season Is not the hearts or flowers What a want is just a reason To be alone for a couple of hours Maybe catch a movie It's been a year or more I'm sure it would be fabulous As long as I don't snore What I really want my darling As we snuggle in our bed The bestest gift for this great day Is a big sleep in instead.  Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Now you're talkin'! This made me smile in memory of two babies and NO DRYER: "Bring the clothes in when it rains" They had to be carried up and down a flight of stairs too. That was LOVE! Loved this one Keth, written with your wry wit and practical tone too.  |

This is so true, Keth... I think number one on the list for every harried mother and housewife is a great nights sleep. I think it must take until your kids are in their thirties and you don't have to worry about them anymore...til you can grab one of those.  copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |
