Oh how I hate thee
And thy many fiendish chores.
This is why I nap.

Love it! Usually translating the other way around, but I couldn’t resist turning it into a proper, spring-cleaning one-liner… ああ、ひどい 春の家事なあ お昼寝よ

Haha! Google translate tells me you wrote “ah, terrible spring chores, take a nap”! Love it 😁
Pretty much… there are some old expressions to mark the 5-7-5 pattern of “moras” in a way that sounds a little “grumbly” at the second comma, and matter-of-fact at the conclusion. Spring will do that to a person. Good cheer to you! 😄
Yes, I see what is to be done, and the couch beckons. 🙂
Exactly 😁
