Men wash dishes too. I wash more than my girl. Poem never mentions woman. It's simply trashy abstraction. I'm telling myself to do my duty, my homework... One can be systematic about it, about the process.

Ha, ha, I just realise you may be just making fun of me! ;-)

Here's a reproduction:

POET

When you can call yourself a Poet
Without getting foam on your face
Between the rinsing and drying of the dishes
Then you are one

If you can call yourself a Poet
With the foam upon your face
You are perhaps a great one

If you don’t bother to do the dishes
You are scum
Find a new profession immediately
Maybe some kind of journalist




I'm actually an Aussie. God bless.

.. so, anyway, welcome to the forum, u.s..

.. and now, I hope to get some badly needed sleep..
