I've burnt both my hands on each pan in the house,
Chipped all ten fingernails trying to catch a mouse.
Tried to bake you some cookies and that turned out bad,
The dog would not eat them, now that's just plain sad!

I tried to do laundry, that wasn't so hot.
The white socks, now pink, and all covered with dots.
Started fixin' a sandwich, oh boy, what a shock!
The bread was all molded, the cheese, hard as a rock.

If you don't get the trash out for weeks upon end,
Do they charge you extra when they pick up again?
Just how much mail can one mailbox hold?
From the look of the postman, I'm about to get told.

I've gained some new insight and now I know
If you don't mow the grass, it will just grow and grow.
I contacted a man to come knock it all down.
He said, "Bush hogs are illegal on this side of town!"

I'm losing some weight, getting that girlish figure,
My waist is now smaller, and my ego is bigger.
But don't you worry, or fret now, my dear,
All will be normal when you come home in a year!
