Afterwords--A Blog Written in Haiku

Granddaughter with wine
Set it down a little hard.
"So sorry, it spilled."

Cat shut in bedroom
Pooped on bed and peed on floor.
She couldn't help it.

Sixteen dinner guests;
Great time, but lots of dishes.
We'll clean up later.

Tablecloth is clean
After soaking and washing.
We'll use it again.

Hosed down the bedspread,
Hot water wash, two rinses.
Rewashed it today.

The morning after.
Mountains of plates ev'rywhere.
Husband washed them all.

I'll keep my husband
For as long as possible.
He's worth ev'rything.
