why tempt them

we clean before
the maids
arrive.
straighten up the books,
pick up
the clothes.
we load the dishwasher
and change the sheets.
dust the shelves.
we hide the money too,
not that they
can't be trusted.
the jewelry
gets hidden in a box
deep into the closet.
other secrets
are stuck
into drawers.
why tempt them.
