Dirty Dishes Blues

I went to my kitchen, and what did I see All my dirty dishes, looking back at me I got dishes - I got them dirty dishes No matter what I say, no matter what I do I got them - dirty dishes blues My babe come to see me on a Friday night She looked in my kitchen and said, you know that ain’t right You got dishes - you got them dirty dishes No matter what I say, no matter what I do I got them - dirty dishes blues When I get home, you know what I’ll do I’ll get some water, make some soap suds too And wash my dishes, I’ll wash my dirty dishes No matter what I say, no matter what I do I got them - dirty dishes blues

LOL whenever I get into creation the most heavily the housework goes to hell! I should perhaps write a song about that. Then again my pets don't much mind. My first husband used to say " we need a wife". We did get a housekeepr. Different times. I loved your poem. It made me smile, quickly brought me to the real world problem we all face of the jobs that are never truely done. I just make sure I show up for the ones they will truely miss me at. Loved your poem! - Susan Artimus The Poet
