Spouse took hiatus washing clothes and dishes

(alternately titled: tongue in cheek humor

cuz the following hyperbole

from this pencil necked baby boomer

without intent to badmouth,

nor start unfounded rumor,

who chalks, i.e. attributes gobbledygook

to funny bone tumor).

Impossible mission maneuvering around

soiled clothes pile

floor to ceiling humongous mound

terse reply hopefully adequately sound

to convincingly doth explain

absent poet buried alive underground,

perhaps never heard and/or found

till 1-800 GOT JUNK uncovered

emaciated (lovely bones)

formerly Matthew Scott Harris

his remnants discovered

visa vis mastercard bloodhound.

No need to fret

(while guitar gently weeps),

just talk to who barkeeps

works long late hours, he oversleeps

thus best track him down,

without uttering peeps

please find out if he knows

anybody reliably housekeeps

maybe lady luck will

thru think magical realism

deliver sophisticated robot

harkening within outer limits

from twilight zone

hookin get the job done

in one fell swoop sweeps.

Meanwhile yours truly

tries to remain upbeat

despite being royally tricked

upon pledging his troth

haint cool wedded bliss

heavily perspiring courtesy ultraheat

smellbound by malodorous laundry

necessitating heavy amount

of clorox to pretreat

which I rather drink,

(and thank president Trump)

for sakes Pete!

Though the misses upholds

voluntarily cooking as wifely role indeed

worth commendable attention,

I do concede

and doth adequately buzzfeed

her hubby lest he

wither away to lovely bones

(well past due date

late to avoid

above mentioned outcome,

his (mine) corporeal

being well nigh freed,

thus complaint regarding

spindleshanks solved no knead

to strain skinny ankle muscles

and maintain self promise

holy matrimony, cuz

aye know weed

never remain married forever

as initially agreed.

Fickle finger of fate

hath spoken thru smelly

potential Superfund site

perhaps... not amazing how heaping pile

of unwashed laundry can create

ecological hazard, that warrants B44

one bedroom apartment condemned

management understandably irate

to withhold security deposit

nearly four years at Highland Manor

now ready for model

domestic counterpart to debate

with her better angels where to relocate.
