oh mothers teach your sons how to cook and how to clean in the arts of housework educate them or else your sons poor wives will curse you all their lives as they labour to housebreak and domesticate them pass on to them the ancient art of dusting show them there’s no shame in scrubbing floors and teach their poor dim eyes to see what we see without trying spots on glass and fingerprints on doors so mothers teach your sons how to cook and how to clean in the arts of housework educate them or else your sons poor wives will curse you all their lives as they labour to housebreak and domesticate them and give them Joy of Cooking for their birthdays encourage them to make the meals for you but don’t forget to teach them how to clean up as they’re going so your kitchen doesn’t end looking like World War Two oh mothers teach your sons how to cook and how to clean in the arts of housework educate them or else your sons poor wives will curse you all their lives as they labour to housebreak and domesticate them oh mop and broom and a dustpan sure look good on a man teach them when they clean to clean behind things it’s a concept that they surely will resist behind the couch, behind the fridge and, yes, behind the toilet — these are places men don’t even know exist so mothers teach your sons how to cook and how to clean in the arts of housework educate them or else your sons poor wives will curse you all their lives as they labour to housebreak and domesticate them oh mop and broom and a dustpan sure look good on a man I said mop and broom and a dustpan sure look good on a man |
