Years ago, when World of Warcraft was a standalone game, the little peons would announce their completion of a task by saying, "Jobs done".

Leaving behind
A bit of good feeling–
A little bit of smugness, even.
The tools picked up,
The work area tidied.

For the next chore,
The next place,
The next duty,
To keep those
Undone chore rumples
In the hinter brain
Curried,
Combed,
And quiet.
