The Weekend Clean

The work week is done, I’m free at last!
But my house is a mess, I’m feeling the blast.
The dishes are piled high, the laundry is strewn,
The floor is a jumble, I don’t know where to begin.

I could just relax, but I know I’ll regret it.
So I’ll put on my headphones and start cleaning the detritus.
The vacuum will roar, the dust will be swept,
The floors will be shined, the bed will be made.

It’s not the most glamorous way to spend a weekend,
But it’s better than coming home to a dirty mess.
So I’ll take a deep breath and get to work,
And by the end of the day, my house will be sparkling clean.

But then it will start all over again next week,
And I’ll be back to square one.
But that’s okay, because I know that I’m not alone.
We all have to deal with the weekend clean.
