MIDNIGHT MAID

MIDNIGHT MAID

The clock strikes midnight,

And the housework begins;

 

Empty the dishwasher

Clean up  kitchen counter,

Sweep the floor

Linseed oil the door,

Put in a load a laundry

Return library books in nightie,

Now there are a lot of things,

I thought Dementia would do to me

But I never thought I’d become the

Midnight Maid.
