Stand in submission to the bubbling frothing pans,
that drains her afternoon zest.
Bathed in scrumptious ailments of carrots stew and bread,
drowns her sweet perfume a la toilette.
So Tic toc labor's on,
school run begs come on!
Lamb roast wants 20 minutes too,
sinks flushed to the grim brim ...phew.
Table set for 2+2,
fork, knives but where are the spoons.
Stop, breathe and turn about too,
hubbies home, kids in tow,
with stories told of another day lost in servitude.
