Quite simple really...
I don't ask much...
A little dusting on occasion,
maybe wash his clothes some time...
I do not ask much of him...
save for common courtesies...
...closing what he opens, fixing what he breaks,
simple little tasks are all...
I do not ask much of him today...
while he dreams away the sun...
but today the roses died...
and he is still sleeping...
