The Morning After…Maria Was There

I arrived the morning after…
Maria was there the morning before…
I searched behind every door…
Looking for something more to do but alas…
Maria had done it all…from the sink to the hall…
In the basement and under the beds I did crawl…
Looking for something to do!
The crust and the dust…succumbed to the lust…
Of Maria the master …who cleans it all…even the plaster!
My dream is that some morning after…
I will find something she missed…
Instead of a check mark next to everything on her list!
Maria…What a delight to follow in your dust…’cuz there isn’t any! Thank you for making my job sooo…easy!
