Beeep. The oven is preheated
Guess that school degree can wait.
What's for dinner?
~
Why don't you tell me
instead
Tell me it'll all be ok when
I'm down and out
Say, "Don't worry about the trash,
I'll take it out."
~
Why don't you do it
instead
Become a world-ignored juggler
work, family, spouse
All in the air, none for me except
work, animals, house.
~
Care-giver not Care-taker?
Give care to everyone and take none for me.
Beeep. That load of laundry is ready to be switched.
