1981
Ballet here,
Racquetball there,
Going, going- everywhere.
Don’t forget this!
Here- take that!
Where’s the maze for me, the rat?
Going in;
Coming out:
Quiet girls- and please don’t shout.
Bring clean clothes up;
Take all the dirt down;
At the next free moment I must go to town
Wallpaper the walls;
Vacuum the floors;
And look- I see more dust on the doors.
When does it stop?
What more must I start?
To get everything done is truly an art.
I just started the day;
How can it be night?
Someone- please tell me to turn off the light!
