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, then 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?" they ask,
> 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 e'er I doze, I hear him say,
> "What do women do all day?"
>
> Poem by Marshall H. Hart
