Laundry room calling  
useless is my housewife angst-  
Tide weilding wench.

Roof guy ripped me off  
the money went up his nose  
dont hire cokeheads.

young boy, paintball gun  
my childless brother bought it  
he must want me dead.

Feel free to add your own!!

P.S…missed you guys

Oddly quiet house.  
When cat gets home from the vet,  
He will come sans balls.

the timepiece counts down  
the minutes till my escape

eventually stink, yes?  
so why clean it now?

Sweet dreams, little one.

Whiteout sits on desk.  
Is it nasty off-white sludge?  
No, 'tis snowy white.

Rubber band sits too.  
Can’t resist the urge to shoot!  
Here, puppy, puppy…

Jesus died today  
So that all his followers  
Could get day off work.
