This is a relatable poem for anyone who handles the cleaning of the house or living quarters. I like how you structured your poem. Good luck with the contest.

Thank you so much for the kind words and for reviewing my work. I am glad that you liked it.

Lol. Well, when the list of things to do is too long, then it's very unmotivating and so I can understand the need to sit down and rest. Perhaps alternate between viewing and cleaning. I'm alternating between reviewing and packing!

Thank you so much! I mainly keep the television on for company, so I do pretty much everything with it on. However, you are very correct - that list is definitely not motivating in the least.
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
A fun romp through this verse, calculating what needs to be done in a way that might indicate that you're actually doing the tasks! You're not of course and I'm not sure you will when the television is switched on! Believe me, I know the feeling! So easy to postpone these often soul-destroying jobs! Your verse reads well and has a jaunty little rhythm in-keeping with the sentiments (if not the doing!) of activity! Good luck in the contest! Debbie

Thank you so much! I am glad that you enjoyed this piece. I always have the television on to keep me company, and I can hear it while I am doing my housework. Sometimes, I forego the television and turn on the radio or some vinyl.

Sometimes the chores mount up and we have no choice but to get on with it and complete the tasks, otherwise we live in a pigsty! Ha ha ha, a fun post, love Dolly x

Yes, especially since I can barely do anything due to disabilities. Glad you enjoyed the poem.
