The Mail Piles Up

The mail piles up when you’re away;

The plants may droop or wither,

But all else stays exactly so

If you go yon and hither.

 

The jacket you forgot to hang,

The food that’s going rotten

Were left in limbo with some other

Things perhaps forgotten.

 

The order you forgot to send,

The room in need of dusting

Wait patiently ‘til you return,

Like little children, trusting.

 

Then you get home and do those chores

You somehow left unfinished

Or add them to a growing list

That slowly gets diminished.
