Tongue in cheek, Erma Bombec inspired......




Housefrau Zombie



Pass the pepper, pass the salt

Too much garlic, not my fault

Burned outside, inside rare

On the phone, and didn't care



Clothes left in the washer long

Mildew order wafting strong

Where was I at cycled end

Can't remember, won't pretend



Fur balls roll like tumble weeds

I walk by like I don't see

One shaped like some creature strange

Hedgehog, gopher, constant change



Click, click, click the channels pass

Sit and stare like some old ass

Bad new, reruns, TMZ

Brain cells dying, there goes me



Sit down, try to read a book

Lost my glasses, hard to look

Words run over page like ants

Too much squinting, rather dance



Not to rap, or not to metal

Strauss too fast, I wheeze like kettle

My feet move to disco beat

Give me Motown, happy feet



Now to focus on the home

Seems I'm warmed up, done with phone

Start some dinner, vacuum stairs

Housefrau zombie, live the prayer
