Just another day, just happy doing my thing.... this sprung up out of the blue.


The Happy Housecleaner



Wakey wakey rise and shine
Up for school oh son of mine!
Down a coffee, warm the car
Jacket on to hide no bra!
Cool air whispers in my face
Parents fight for parking space
I hear "Have a good day Mum"
Reply, "Love you and you too hun"
Race back home to dodge the cold
Bones ache must be getting old!

Now where to start, I don't know
Turn the kettle on and radio
Hum to a familiar song
Put a load of washing on
Fill the sink and load the dishes
Smile at housework fairy wishes
Make the beds, fold the clothes
Muse where odd socks and time goes
Run the vaccy across the floor
Sing with the radio some more

Postman comes, another bill
Eat my lunch with Doctor Phil
Swill another coffee down
Write down things to do in town
Hang the washing on the line
Sun is out, the weather fine
House now suitably un-messed
I realise I'm still not dressed
Caught up in all my house humdrum
Guess in my fun I forgot Mum!!

I have a shower as I clean
The tiles the floor, what a scene!
The neighbors really have no choice
But to hear my singing, scrubbing voice
A dancing fool now in my towel
(Can't be too bad, the dog didn't howl)
Now the house is sparkling, just like me
School pick up time, half past three
He kisses my cheek, waves to a mate
"YOU had a good day! Wow you look great!"

;-)
