it's raining and I'm sitting here
it seems that I am stuck you see
no use today for my cutting gear
it's always raining when I am free

it seems that I am stuck you see
so I must do some other chores
it's always raining when I am free
okay, okay I'll scrub the floors

so I must do some other chores
hey, I know where I'd rather be
okay, okay I'll scrub the floors
let the housewife in me free

hey, I know where I'd rather be
so this is what I'm going to do
let the housewife in me free
and then I'll write a poem for you

so this is what I'm going to do
I'll scrub the floors untill they shine
and then I'll write a poem for you
while I am sipping a glass of wine

I'll scrub the floors untill they shine

it's raining and I'm sitting here

Titia! This is perfect! You rounded everything out quite well and brought in tight up back to the beginning! I've got a lot to learn from you!

Titia, this is fantastic. I love the Pantoum and I love down to earth every day poems that speak of real life. And you do both well. Thanks for sharing.

You are an amazing lady, Titia! This is brilliant work.....you took such common, uninteresting chores and created an excellent poem from them...I love it!

Thank you so much dear friends.

Ha ha I started to write the poem, never got to scrubbing the floors LOL

I'm not much of a housewife I must say.
Just got back from a sheepmeeting. I had to drive 5 hours forth and back and talked two.

First male lamb will be called Balladeer.
I'm just sitting here and waiting and the ewes grow fatter each day. Any moment now.
