Betty's Daily Miracle: A poem

How do you manage? Betty my wife 
With twins in nappies and measles rife
A quick dip in pool, 
Old Fritz to park
Sop up the beer pool from party lark
Wash stale shirt, remove ink stains and tar
I quickly gorge breakfast and flee to car
Tang-Bang-Who-Hoo down familiar line
Train jogging to work
Be there by nine

How do you manage? Betty my wife
With twins in nappies and measles rife

Back at the household Betty's prepared
Witch with a vacuum, dust scurries scared
Whirlwind in action with brush and pan
Miracle working strictly to plan
Return home from toil, breadwinner's tired
Met by a vision in neat dress attired

How do you manage? Betty my wife
With twins in nappies and measles rife

Tea ready on table, twins in bed
Fritz has had walkie, babies been fed
Snooze through the paper, pretend to buy stock
Savour contentment, tick-whirr of clock
Arm round my lady, lead her to rest
Forget till morning work-a-day test

How do you manage Betty? Betty my wife
With twins in nappies and measles rife
