Distressed pots and pans
lie dormant in the sink
lie dormant in the sink
Starting to pile up
A mountain of dishware
of our own creation
They all gotta be
hand cleaned
and dried meticulously
Those are the rules
Not a joyous task
For the dishwasher is down
and there is no excess capital
laying around
to fix this convenience properly
So it falls on me
as it often does
to do the mundane drudgery
we were all signed up for
when we became
responsible adults
Excuse me
I gotta go make my frickin bed
