happy and peaceful raising
a family pandering to success
tacitly devoid of carnage
modern living with added
pressure would impinge on the
matriarch who works without pay
her domain in the kitchen
organised but her services
taken for granted

Christine here Hank. I enjoyed your quadrille. I can definitely relate and agree the pay is awful.
ReplyDeleteIn total agreement Hank. Loved the read.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Ah yes indeed. I learned very early on to ask a woman this question, "Do you work outside the home?" In other words, I know you work inside the home....and that is definitely work. Do you also add to that work by working outside the home?
ReplyDeleteMy mother certainly worked hard like that.
ReplyDeleteHank, keeping a house a home takes an extreme amount of work and dedication. I admire anyone that commits to the mission. You're right, modern peer pressures to remove that beloved place makes it even more challenging.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more. Well said.
DeleteThis resonates, Hank!
