Yellow Galactic
Warrior
“Cinderella”
I mop and sweep
I dust and weep
I scour, scrub, and fill the Pail
I polish the Knives and Spoons and
Forks---
I’m thin and pale
From Overwork!
I wipe and wash
I dry and try
To keep my rough Hands soft
I clean and iron
I hustle and bustle
To chase the Dirt away---
I am tired and mired
In Cobwebs and Motes
Floating in vacuumed Air---
I clean the Silver
Hang out the Wash
I bleach and then
Reach for More---
I straighten the Rugs
And change the Sheets---
Fluffing and folding
Keeping Mice at Bay
Wait!! Did I say Mice?
Hooray!
My Coach is on the way
Hecate will save the Day!
