THE SOCK

I walk in the door at 5 o'clock  
Into the hall and pick up a sock  
Straight up the stairs and make the bed  
Must hurry up we need to be fed  
 
But find on the floor  
More screwed up cothes!  
So fold them and tidy  
This room I do loathe  
 
Collect the glasses  
And take down the mugs  
But pass the bathroom  
Is that a new rug!  
No Its a towel wet on the floor  
And a pair of old boots behind the door  
 
So try to carry all this down the stairs  
Oh no the hoover is still sitting there!  
Walk into the living room  
Where I find another top  
Oh no not more clothes  
I hope thats the lot  
 
But I find old newspapers all over the floor  
Now into the kitchen where I find more  
Rubbish to clear and plates to scrape  
Unload the dishwasher! Dinner will be late!  
 
Reload the dishwasher then feed the cat  
Turn around and see more crumbs on the mat!  
So pick up the broom and sweep them up  
Then look in the freezer  
What can I muzzle up?  
 
Defrost the curry I made the other night  
Stick on the rice ready for tonight  
Now dinner is on I can sit down for a while  
But no the cat screeches and lets out a cry!  
 
She stands by the door then wanders about  
Does she want to stay in or want to go out  
it makes envious would I ike to be a cat?  
But a husbands role must beat that  
 
Although I shouldnt complain  
He does help me out  
But only after I nag and shout!  
When he helps out he really does try  
Im fact he does a beter job than I  
 
But thats not what I want for me to be a pest  
i want him to do it when he knows I need a rest  
 
To open that door at 5 o'clock  
To see him picking up that old sock!  
Telling me to sit down and making me a drink  
Then go into the kitchen and feed Dinks (the cat)  
Putting on the dinner then serving it up on a plate  
Would be great.  
 
Then running me a bath so I can unwind  
Whilst he clears the plates and go gets the wine  
 
Forget the diamond necklace  
Forget the expensive clothes  
For the best present you can give me  
Is a night that I have shown
