La Dueña

She cleans house
For six hours each
Wednesday and now she
Has agreed to stop by sometime Mondays and Fridays for an hour
Or two to straighten but mainly
To look in on the other dueña
Who lives in the house both
Owners of their very own
Realms that overlap a
Bit three times each
Week for my own
And their mutual
Benefit most
Especially
When I
Am out
Of town for
A week or two
Researching and
Developing all new
Or older paradigms
But feeling better now
The two reynas who are
The dueñas of the casa de
Little oaks diminutive but tough
Their orbits now cross more
Often but each in her own
Way abhors clutter and
Mess always listo
To clean up but
One is a really
Professional
The other a
Survivor
Whose
Heart
Is
Tough
As oak
Both mi
Amigas de
Casa Encinitas.
