Disaster Mistress
Maids at work,
They talk about the new mistress,
The devil in glowing skin,
She struts the house in fierce stilettos,
Like a model on a runway,
Singing the best of Louis Pavarotti,
Eccentric and fastidious,
Hell is let loose when her reflection
is not seen around,
All are set in motion as she moves along,
When she is awake,
Trouble arises,
Everyone is set on their toes,
No one idles away,
Nor is there any time for diversions,
When she is asleep,
All are calm and unruffled,
A woman of substance
on the wheels of opulence,
Diamonds and pearls
are her Achilles heel.
