The Dirty Housewife by Nobody: 6:48pm On Dec 14, 2013
Dirty housewife
Won't you quit living like a swine?
You look crappy like badly made wine
Your hair is messy; could do with some shine
Your husband's on his way home; try and look fine
But dirty housewife gossips from morn' till night!

Her children don't understand why
Momma can't get a life
Or why dirty clothes lay in a huge pile
Screaming to be washed and hung to dry
Or why meals are never prepared on time
And why the ladder to hygiene, Momma cannot climb

Dirty housewife!
Dirty plates scattered here n there being romanced by flies
'Cos from her bed of idleness, she would scarcely arise
She won't stop lingering about until hubby comes home, her to chide
Won't make a move; wants to linger awhile

Oh! Today hubby goofed. He brought home his friend and friend's wife
Dirty housewife was confused. She began her dirty things to hide
Some under the bed, some behind the door, away from eyes
Hubby's friend's wife clothed in silk. She, a loose wrapper around her chest, helplessly shy!
Embarrassed, hubby sets his guest at the table, for to dine
But to his chagrin, dinner won't be ready till nine!
Three knots went loose in his head; he lost his mind!
He wondered when dirty housewife, her senses she begins to find
In a mad rush, she began to slice, to chop, to grind
But hubby thought this time, she reached a degree too high
He aimed at her face, hitting her hard. She let out a cry
The guests managed to rescue from hubby Madam dirty housewife
"I have to learn" she said. "I have to in someone clean confide"


Some days later, I heard through the grapevine
That her washed clothes now fill the line
That her hair now advertizes the word "shine"
Dirty plates washed up; no longer hidden but shining bright
Her children stare at her in awe and surprise
Hubby can't wait to get home; he sure knows dinner's alright!
And that feeling brings home happiness as beautiful as sunrise
And together, they share the joy of clean delight!
