Sweat of the Housekeeper

Vacuuming and dusting

Make sure things aren’t rusting

Clean the gutters

Wipe down the shutters

Use a toothbrush on the grout

Don’t let them see you pout

Elbow grease for those dishes

You need a genie with three wishes

The toilet scrubbing turns your nose

All four cars will get the hose

Morning has turned into night

You worked alone with all your might

Now you get to rest

Wait!

You missed a post

About Charles Yallowitz

Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.
