NOT JUST A WOMAN!
Easy when looking at each action,
One by one, task here, then there.
Just keep plugging along.
Simple enough to care for a small child,
More complicated when more than one.
Sleep when needed, often a luxury.
A house that doesn’t clean itself,
Week after week, so much the same,
Food that begs for a cook.
Spouses can help, Some do.
Others master the escape route,
Routes to the land of avoidance.
Work often becomes a disguised blessing,
Change from the routine,
Yet often mixed with stress.
Only a saint could bear the burden,
Someone with Ethiopian shoulders,
But none of this, a woman and then some!
