I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man I keep his house.

Our reading

An editorial interpretation.

This is a joke built on a twist: the speaker calls themselves a great housekeeper, and the punchline is that each time a relationship ends, they walk away with the man's house. 'Keeping house' turns from tidying up into literally keeping the property.
