The Domestic Engineer has just left the building - crumbs!

The domestic engineer has left the building 

School shoes have gone AWOL.

Homework tasks vanished 

The heating has been left on

And on and on and on.

The cat pissed on the rug

The door was shut all night.

There's a drought in the dog’s water bowl 

And a walk seems quite unlikely.

Dishes are not done.
Tumbleweeds of dust

Take up residence inside
With out paying any rent.

Skulking mounds of washing

Shirk in some unusual places.

Surfaces begin to slump

Under the weight of all the crumbs.

No interest is paid
To the incidentals of the day.

Footy matches missed

Training pushed aside.

The toothpaste has runout.

Bills remain unpaid.

The domestic engineer
Has left the building.

And no-one else has made the grade.

Crumbs!
