You Wash The Dishes And I Create More Dirty Dishes
Working Together
This is what we do best
Every day we make things happen
My wife cooking roasted potatoes in the oven
From me cleaning up the mess
I make the bed
My wife pays the bills that are due
We constantly go back and forth
Like a see-saw up and down
Constantly talking to each other
A beautiful give and take
Trying to make the rounds
Getting lunch ready
Checking out something new on the news
Having some computer time
Making the day just fun
I am always thinking what will be my next poem
How life is today
Not back in Rome
The issues we face
My wife cleaning out her work e-mails
The lost mail that we have to trace
The mail could be delayed
With the shortage of help
With the new outbreak of Covid -19
In a world filled with so much anticipation and frustration
Anything can and will happen
We have to stay grounded
Find the time to show our love
It is ten degrees outside
Laundry building up from one pile to two
What will we do?
Charlottes cat food came from Amazon
They didn't have it in the store
She is real particular
She likes Friskies farm favorites
She is not a salmon kind of gal
Taking the littlest moment of joy
Making last over breakfast
Squeezing in as many laughs as possible
Then rushing to do a few more things
At least they were started
One day they will be finished
When they get completed
I will go for a nice run
Off to work I go
A man's job is never done
