Housekeeping haiku

You all remember our old friend haiku?
Honestly, a gal's gotta have something to do with her brain when faced with a sink full of dishes. :-P

Dishes are waiting
I haven't seen a maid yet
Guess it's up to me

Don't look too closely
The house is basically neat
Except for the dust

For one little boy
Eleven books and four shoes
Piled close at hand

The black and white floor
So cute when we bought the house
Reveals all the dirt

I pick up the house
I pick up the house again
And later again

;-)
