Welcome



What
Do Women Do All Day?

Every
minute, to and fro,
That's
the way my hours go!
Bring
me this, and take me that;
Feed
the dog, take out the cat.
Standing
up, I eat my toast,
Drink
my coffee, thaw the roast,

Empty
the garbage, make the bed,
Rush
to church, then wash my head.
Sweep
the kitchen, wax the floor,
Scrub
the woodwork, clean the doors;
Scour
the bathtub, them myself,
Vacuum
carpets, straighten shelves.

Eat
my sandwich on the run,
Now
my afternoon's begun;
To
the baseball game I go,
When
will there be time to sew?
Meet
the teacher, stop the fight,
See
the dentist, fly the kite;

Help
with homework, do the wash,
Iron
the clothes, put on the squash.
Shop
for groceries, cash a check,
Fight
the crowds, Now I'm a wreck!

Dinner
time it soon will be,
What's
for dinner?
Wait
and see!

Dirty
dishes crowd the sink,
Next
there's popcorn, then a drink;
Will
they never go to bed?
Will
I ever get ahead?
"Bring
me water, Get the light,"
Turn
off the TV, lock the bike;

"Where's
my pillow? Hear my prayers,"
"Did
you lock the door downstairs?"
At
last in bed, my spouse and I,
Too
tired to move, too weak to cry;
But
as I doze, I hear him say,
"What
do women do all day?"
