Bread has been baked, veggies are chopped,
salt in the pan – kitchen’s been mopped,

cleared up the bathroom, cleaned up the sink,
washed all your socks – still really stink, 

ironed the laundry, folded the sheets,
serviced the car – here’s the receipt, 

dog for a walk, cat to the vet,
married a wonderful prince that I met,

leaving tonight, so good luck with the chores, 
dropping my apron and keys by the door.
