A Mini Respite

On this bright and sunny July day
All dust shows up – to my dismay;
No hope for it, I need to sweep,
Clean windows, wash my floors and keep

An eye on all my fragile plants
Watering can't be left to chance.
The kitchen counter needs a scrub
Avanti! Elbow grease – and love.

The trouble is - my day's too short
An empty fridge? Food must be bought
Facebook posts can create angst ...
So I need to switch off, refuel tanks.

But how to stop? That is the key
With a thousand chores awaiting me ...
Exhausted, I shall rest awhile:
Hot coffee calls - Italian style.
