Housework Fun

          Warm water pouring on my hands

         

                   Soapy suds bubbling in a pan

                   A twist of an wrist and a plate, quickly washed

                   Once a sink full of dishes, now there is none

                   The brush of straw, sweeping a tile floor

                   Motion of a stiff broom, moving back and forth

                   Sliding into a dustpan, the dirt forcefully pushed

                   Free fall down an open pit, the trash can is closed

                   Smelly pile of clothing, filling an open bin

                   Small cup of powder, sifting and mixing in

                   Wet, scattered items, stop once they spin

   Putting in another load, the process starts over again
