Helping

[pomes]

Every dish, once washed, is washed again
In a basin on the floor, with extra vim.
And every piece of clothing neatly pegged
Is fastened with a clothespeg sweetly begged.
And every meal is tasted, once or twice,
The vegetables tasted slice by slice -

What did I do, do you suppose
Before I had access to Someone Who Knows
Just how it is done, and how it should be -
How did I manage, when it was just me?

When I do laundry, I am supervised:
No unmatched socks can pass those eagle eyes;
No badly loaded shirt can be allowed;
No trousers put in legs-first, upside-down.
When cooking meals I'm careful to ensure
That nothing lands up on the kitchen floor.

What did I do, do you suppose
Before I had access to Someone Who Knows
Just how it is done, and how it should be -
How did I manage, when it was just me?

I walked into the dining room today
And found the toys all neatly put away,
And all the bits of fabric folded small
(Towels, napkins, shirts and cushions all).
When cleaning floors I always check they're clear
The insepctor will be 'round again, I fear.

What did I do, do you suppose
Before I had access to Someone Who Knows
Just how it is done, and how it should be -
How did I manage, when it was just me?
