It's not very good but it was inspired by something I said to poachedegg and I just knocked it out in a few minutes, hope it makes you smile! I'd better get on with some housework!

 

I’m cultivating cobwebs

Collecting lint and dust

Only doing housework

When I absolutely must

 

You see I have a reason

For this excess of refuse

It’s not a very valid one

Just some fowl excuse

 

There are chickens in my garden

I got them just to lay

Now I find I’m captivated

Just watching them all day!!!!

 

So fair warning if you’re pondering

And trying to bribe the spouse

You may find yourself on telly

On ‘How Clean is Your House?”!

brilliant -they could probably do a whole series just with hen owners!

[Mutrix Farmers]

Excellent - you've seen my house!!

[Egg Lou]

Excellent! I do the similar ditties for all our cars ( car fasination too)

 

Should send it to Omlet for newsletter?

[Guest]

thanks

 

I can see where it needs editing already, like removing the word 'slowly' form the first line and verse 3 doesn't scan as I would like but hey, it was just for fun

[chickenlass]

Brilliant! Love it Justine.

I think this could be called the Song of the Omleteers

 

Chickens are more intersting than housework any day (actually, anything is more interesting than housework!)

Excellent poem Poet. It's as if you were in my house too!

[MedusA]

Love the poem, Justine. Definitely send it to Omlet.

[Guest]

I've sent it to Johannes who's sent it to steph who does the newsletter

 

I'm glad it's not just me living a life of grime then

 

right, I really have to go and do the ironing now!

[Faye&Ant]

Fab poem - glad to know its not just me. They are such a good excuse to get out of the boring house chores. I clean up after and make sure they home and run are spotless, more than my own house

[Chickvic]

Fantastic poem, and yes, you must have visited my house too!

[Ms Tilytinkle]

Great poem poet. It's that omlet effect at work again I think. I managed to get the kitchen done today, but it has just made everywhere else look disgraceful

I seem to have tapped a nerve, we all seem to be in the same boat!

[Chook n Boo Mum]

Most definitely! BTW, when did you come to my house?!

 

Have got a friend of a friends daughter coming to stay from Germany in August for 3 weeks, got to get sorted by then, have suggested DH orders a skip......!
