MAIDS OF HONOUR

Long after the jokes had stopped to ring in to my ears
And for me to be at home for long, had been years

It came back with vengeance and struck me hard
When the maid bid goodbye and caught us off guard

“Behind every successful man there is a woman
And behind every successful house, there are two – the woman and her MAID”

Taking nothing away from our caring, hardworking moms in distress
If u thought there wasn’t much to do, take a leave and put on the press

Now back to the point, A day into my much awaited winter break
And I wasn’t the only one who wanted rest and the vegetarian steak

And there went a lot of things, my in bed breakfast, my mid day snack and my mom’s patience most of all
To top it all, with the water gone, it was one sweaty day enough to drive us into the wall

With a salary rise and a Christmas gift loaded in her pouch,
there came the honourable woman back to our house

-Peace was restored and like they say, we lived happily ever after :) .....
