Creature from the Pit of Despair

It's indescribably evil

 

There’s evil in the kitchen, void of heart and soul

Waiting for me there, it makes my blood run cold

I’ve slain it many times, with bare and trembling hands

But when I walk away, it rises up again

Who will face this beast and make it go away?

No one else but me, I must sadly say

All others are afraid to raise their swords, it seems

And hide beneath their beds when they hear my bloody scream

Do they think I sleep so very well at night

Dreaming of the villain that daily, I must fight?

This food-encrusted monster, no longer can I face

So starting on the morrow, we’ll eat on paper plates

Author's Note

My wife almost never does the dishes.

that's why our early ancestors just threw everything into one big heap outside and buried it. Makes for good archeology when ya can't dig up a dino bone....

Ha ha! I feel a great deal of empathy for you and your wife as I hate domestic chores and avoid them at all costs, (though I do share them eventually). Due to differing household materials my version of this would be 'the creature from the aliminum abyss!' My 'porcelain pit' is where we ...., but I never clean that!
Excellent poem, made me smile, take care, spence
