Action, cameras, start it rolling on a
Dramatic story of a workaholic.
Running from morn till night
Investing herself and her
Energy to clean, cook and straighten.
Nothing left undone or overlooked
Never finished, always more.
Every day something old and something new.
Commence again and do over one more time.
Olympian effort to clean the Aegean stable.
Run the vacuum cleaner, swing the mop
No spot of dust missed.
Impressive to a white glove inspection.
Slave to cleanness.
Hero to even to Marta, her maid.
