A woman's work is never done,

her life is one big chore.

A cook, a cleaner and mother too,

her roles are these and more.

She irons, bakes and makes the beds

as hubby snores away,

alright for him to count his sheep

and while away the day.

And if that wasn't quite enough

her little cherub Bess

throws all her toys out of the box

and makes an awful mess.

She calls for hubby to clear it up

but he's gone off to the bog,

he returns downstairs expecting dinner

but it's now in the dog.

Now little Timmy feels ignored

so gets in on the act,

he smears the cat with marmalade

and earns himself a smack.

She feels the burden of her chores

and it's all just got too much,

her lovely once so tidy house

has lost it's "woman's touch."

By now poor mum has lost her cool

as she watches chaos reign,

she takes some pills to calm her nerves

and hopefully keep her sane.

The pills kick in and take effect

and mum begins to grin,

she's headed for a bubble bath

and taking her bottle of gin.
