Author Garden: A Woman's Tools Shirley4 Garden Pro! Member # 11309 posted                    I would like to share a poem I wrote in the '80s in a Creative Writing Class. Wanted to see how you all receive it.-- A Woman's Tools The busy housewife has her tools, Things she always uses. She has her special cleaning rules, Can even replace fuses. A broom which sweeps. A mop which cleans. Another one which waxes. These things are hers, Which she must use Before she ever relaxes. The busy housewife needs her tools Because she’s always cleaning. Husbands think wives have it made. Fools! She isn’t just day-dreaming! The appliance which washes, And one which cooks, One for washing dishes, A rag which dusts, A window cleaner. I wonder for what she wishes? A housewife wishes for one more tool; She’s getting tired and weary! A maid would be just fine and dandy! The housework’s getting dreary. A girl who sweeps, A girl who cleans, A girl who even waxes, A girl who mops, A girl who scrubs, While wifey just relaxes! * * * * Some hearts, like evening primroses, open more beautifully in the shadows of life.

I get to have one every two weeks, only! In between times I flick a rag aroun once in awhile, and drag the sweeper over the open areas and leave the rest for her. (I do keep my bathroom and kitchen cleaned up.) Thanks for liking the poem. * * * * Some hearts, like evening primroses, open more beautifully in the shadows of life.
