Click hereWash the dishes, cook the meals
Do the laundry, pay the bills
Feed the dog, bathe the kids
These are things from the life I live
Go to the grocery, sweep the floors
Tell the kids, "don't slam the doors"
Pick up toys, wipe a nose
Now it's time to fold the clothes
Get the kids off to bed
Look at the mail, I haven’t yet read
Tell the kids to go to sleep
Hush your mouths, don't make a peep
Now all is done, all is said
Time for me to go to bed
On my way I'll check the kids
These are things from the life I live
I feel I live on time I borrow
It got me through today
And hopefully tomorrow
With a new day it's the same old chores
Wash the dishes, cook the meals
Do the laundry, pay the bills
Feed the dog, Bathe the kids
Go to the grocery, sweep the floors
Pick up toys, wipe a nose
Fold the laundry, yell at the kids
These are things from the life I live
She says that any mother would recognize and understand this poem instantly.
Keep up the great work!
I'm not surprised this hasn't had much attention.
Non-erotic poetry is the least viewed of all Lit's categories and there is a lot of it on the site.
It works as a poem yet is depressing because it is so true for many people.
Perhaps if you gave it an unusual title it might attract more attention?
