Today's word is "factotum" ... fak-TOH-tuh m ... any employee or official having many different responsibilities. (Dictionary.com)
Slave
Have you ever wished,
For a factotum in your house,
To do the dishes, pay the bills,
And never ever grouse?
Ah! What freedom you would have,
To sleep in and be lazy.
You'd never have to cut the grass,
Or think when you were hazy.
But unless a butler shows up,
And says he'll work for free,
Chances are the chores are yours ...
You may do them when you please!
