SLAVERY - in - the - USA

Your hands are my slaves
soothing my skin
manipulate muscles
ease pain within
they heal all my aches
wipe all my tears
support me when tired
chase all my fears
they punch all the bad guys
smack all the flies
flick off the crumb bobs
fill me with sighs
push the lawn mower
cut down the trees
rake all the seeds in
welcome the breeze
they change the flat tires
paint the room wall
bring out the garbage
vacuum the hall
They pull up the covers
when I have a chill
they rub me so gently
when I need a thrill
They gather my hair
when it falls in my face
they gently caress
each strand out of place
They pick up the baby
when she starts to cry
They cook a great omelette
they even help fry
a snack in the evening
our late midnight treat
they massage little tootsies
even my feet
So gladly you use them
in so many ways
to make my life happy
Your hands are my slaves
