Dora Maar - Picasso.One Minute Writer had a topic called "Assistant".
"If you could hire someone full-time to make your life easier, what would their duties be?"
Personal Assistant.
What tasks would I give to my PA?
Well, she…(yes she, I lean that way),
She would need to meet my habits quirky.
So tolerance will define her.
But what jobs to assign her?
To that the answer’s just a little murky.
A need, quite often overrated
Is the one to be appreciated.
It puts most others in the shade.
I need, but in some ways fear it,
Engagement with a kindred spirit,
Collective strops for our respective blades.
You see, tasks of the more daily kind
By and large, I don’t mind,
I’ll jump right in with rolled up sleeves
Of course (now, I’m risking strife)
The boring stuff’s done by my wife.
Perhaps she’s the one who needs a Jeeves.

ReplyDeleteSounds more like a muse than an assistant.

ReplyDeletegreat post
ReplyDeleteand beautiful painting
I don't need a PA, but a maid would be nice. Or just a designated dish-washer and laundry-doer. I'll sweep and mop and do all the rest...but I hate dishes and laundry.
