On A Tired Housewife
Here lies a poor
woman who was
always tired,
She lived in a house
where help wasn't
hired:
Her last words on
earth were: 'Dear
friends,
I am going
To where there's no
cooking, or washing,
or sewing,
For everything there
is exact to my
wishes,
For where they don't
eat there's no
washing
of dishes.
I'll be where loud
anthems will always
be ringing,
But having no voice
I'll be quit of the
singing.
Don't mourn for me
now, don't mourn for
me never,
I am going to do
nothing forever and
ever.'
