In my opinion My royal dominion Extends to a house filled with dust My servants are shirking Where'er grime is lurking And so I will clean, for I must Dust bunnies are rising In hordes unsurprising As in a blind frenzy, I clean My royal skirts whishing While dishes I'm dishing And frankly I don't care a bean I whisk in a flurry Those dirt bits might worry But they'll not be missed in my search I fill my horizon With dirt that's arising In seeking, I crawl and I lurch Each crevice and corner Like little Jack Horner Is cleaned spit and polished in vain For too soon in creeping Dust bunnies are sneaking In a month, I'll be cleaning again Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

Kethry--I have lived this poem, but reading about it is much more delightful. |

To maintain clean and neat Is a quite simple feat.. It's no problem to keep a house orderly. But you're working too hard To achieve that reward.. Every month? Sweetheart, just do it quarterly! |

Mmmm....better not come to my place then LOL or...maybe you should LOL I'm giving up on cleaning. Just cleaned the kitchen floor and then the dogs walked in after their stroll in wet clay and dirty ditches Titia Like scattered leaves...my words will flow |

Hey Kethry...want to come to my place? We're going through some remodeling, I'm sure I'll be able to find you dust bunnies, and more! |
