Economy

You said we must economize.
I said that I agree.
I guess I never realized
What this would mean for me.
So now my job’s to clean our home,
And do the yardwork too.
Laundry, dishes, iron, (groan)
Cook dinner just for you.
Your mani-pedis and massage
It seems are still required.
Now a salon’s in our garage;
I thought I had retired.
You tell me we have saved a lot.
Economy’s not what I thought.
This is a perfect example of how the economic crunch should be felt.
