I hate this peom nearly as much as i hate any form of house work.
There is no single household chore
that stands out as a particular bore.
Each hour spent is a complete waste
and generally puts a scowl on my face.
What is the point of all that mindless cleaning
sorting and un- heaping to leave a place gleaming?
Housework is like some sort of perpetual curse
that is daily returned to a state of grime or worse.
I will clean out the animal pens with pleasure,
or roll a field for hours and call it my leisure.
But do not ask me to muck out the house,
to clean up after you makes me grouse.
