Lazy

Augustus

 

Counter crud

Cluttered floor and

Yellow sinks

 

Ripe clothes

Brown sills and

Wrinkled sheets

 

Need made neat,

Gently straight

And Sweet.

 

I'm to work

Still she sleeps.

      It drove us apart. Among other reasons. Currently my bride and I are both retired and share chores. Thanks.

        That is great and thanks for the comment. I have to say that I enjoy chores and have my morning tasks that I complete before leaving the house. Unfortunately, sometimes when I return home it looks like a bomb went off..... hahah.
