55 Words






Lazy Bulls

She is a housewife

and a slave

You see her every day

Washing, hanging,

ironing their clothes

She cooks for them

Shops for them

Cleans their dirtiness

Three grown up sons

And an unpleasant faced husband

I bet they’ve never fried an egg

And wonder how they’d manage

If she decided to set off forever.

She seems trapped - not how it should be.
Nicely done.

...has your neighbor "set off forever"? I'm not sure that I'd stick around if I felt so 'trapped'.

Great one this week, as is all your work.

My 55 is posted here [as always, scroll down below my Friday's show n tell.] And, have a great weekend!!

Well done 55. Interesting thoughts. The woman in my family were always matriarchs. They ran the show and called the shots. Much more boss than slave.

I have a friend who has dedicated an art career to this theme.

Sadly this is so true for the housewives, who work their ass off doing what are considered as thankless jobs :(

Well I must agree with you, guys really don't do much house work, a bit like me.

I didn't think this would be you.
I'd think that you'd be a tad more independant.
Excellent 55...
I'm sure millions would identify with this..
Thanks again for always playing so well, and have a Wonderful Week-End...G

A woman's house work in never done, nor appreciated, nor paid for, nor......

I'm lucky to have such a great husband. He does much more of the housework than I do.
