Half-Baked Housewife
Squeezing three specific words into a limerick can be a daunting challenge. But Three Word Wednesday wants poems using cleanse, knead, and melt. Its wish is my command:
Half-Baked Housewife
By Madeleine Begun Kane
I’m lousy at baking and kneading
And the same goes for cooking and feeding.
I melt when I cleanse
And it gives me the bends.
Am I awful at housework? Conceding.

But not at poeming! Excellent one :)
Hey…did my wife secretly mail this one o you? :)
But you’re good at writing.
You are very good at making the most of your failings!
Madeleine, this was a sassy little take on 3WW. I did not get ANYTHING from those words! Nicely done. Amy

So, Mad… you are not the embodiment of Susie Homemaker or Betty Crocker?
you feed us all with poetic words hahahaha
(Laughing here!) Love it! I don’t like cooking at all! I did it while the children were young and then it was all over! My hubby cooks for me than goodness now! But I still do the cleaning! He’s very messy!
I am so with you on this one! I used to feel guilty about not keeping the house in perfect order, but I don’t do guilt anymore. ;) Good one Mad!
Oh—you’re done wonders with teh words and the sentiment.
Hee hee, I like it. Limericks are always fun, and the subject is delightful. I’m awful at housework too.
You give us such riches of quirky humour – Bless you!
Another fine limerick, and an excellent job of getting in those three words. I love the title.
Thanks so much to all of you for your kind words.
Funny and true, who really loves housework anyway? Even the person who can do it I’m sure feels half baked at times.
truly funny. Who likes housework I’d rather be writing
Brilliant use of the words. As usual!
This sounds like my wife. Ahem.
Thanks so much everyone!
Me too. I need to sell a novel so I can hire a maid for all that stuff :)

Sounds like a fun plan, Donna. :)
