Lady of Leisure

My kitchen cupboards, l open wide
Thought l'd spring clean deep inside.

What a miss-match, look at those
bought this a hundred years ago!

My spoons and knives are not in order
Symbolic chaos spilling over
from my messy, dizzy mind
Quick, shut that drawer till 'nother time

Some folk use bone china, others have mugs
I've got neither, just some plastic stuff
Bits of this, a few of those
Picked up in the sales, of course

I hate the fact l cannot match
a saucer to a cup, they're scratched
or chipped, but what a pretty colour
l love their little spots or flowers.

I shuffle out and close the door
The scrubbing of the kitchen floor is left
until another day

My tv's calling me away ..
