I Hate Housework

A poem in honor of Spring cleaning. Yuck.

I hate housework.

Makes me feel like a maid.

Like I’m just some jerk.

I wish it would go away, just fade.

I hate housework.

There’s just so much of it,

Life’s little quirks.

One never ending laundry fit.

I hate housework,

And all those stupid dishes.

I wish I could smirk,

And dump those thing to the fishes.

I hate housework.

Constant cleaning of the filthy bath.

It makes me curt!

I wish I could cut that time in half.

I HATE HOUSEWORK!

Vacuuming up the dog hair.

I want to talk to the clerk.

That’s a task I would share.

So here’s the end.

I’ll stand on my porch

And I will send

The whole thing up with a torch!

Me too! That is why I moved to a tiny house with very little housework to do. I loved the poem.

Oh my goodness, I feel the same way about my house.

Me Too! I hate tiny houses…but big floors do take more mopping. As for plates, maybe we should go back to bread trenchers? But bread making is messy…sigh. Torching the house probably isn’t the answer tho.

no offense: for me who grew up in a family who are taught to work the \\\”basics\\\” at home, i learn to love \\\”house works\\\” and i truly enjoy doing them. it\\\’s a good exercise and i feel good at it… actually i already got used to doing households… except the laundry – i need the washing machine. hehehehehe
