HOUSE DESIGNS
I look at layouts for homes and know
they are made by men
That worked out all the details, not at
all a women’s plan,
For the kitchens are either far too small or
badly arranged,
If a woman had done it a great deal would
have been changed.
Never enough counter space or things in
the wrong place,
And very rarely do you find a sink a nice
window to face,
The air vents are in places where food stuff
can easily fall in,
To let a man design my kitchen to me
would be a sin.
Once I saw a kitchen, it was indeed perfect
in every way,
Lots of counter space and a wonderful centre
island on display,
The stove and fridge just steps apart at right
angles to each other
The air vents were on the wall, not the floor
to save the clutter.
Never before and never again I don’t think
I’ll find such a kitchen,
If the place was closer to civilization
my feet would be itching.
I could mention the family room and the other
rooms as well,
But I will not on too many failures of our
dear men long dwell.
