I learned to clean house as a boy And now and then it brought me joy Wash and shine - vacuum and dust Streak-free windows were a must Scrub linoleum until it squeaked Then wax it till its beauty peaked Now I know how to procrastinate Do it today – naaaw – it can wait I spend my time in better ways Like waiting for nights to turn to days Then waiting for days to turn to nights Ignoring dust and other such sights If things get cluttered in any room I handle that with a push-around broom Cleaning was a habit I decided Not worth the satisfaction it provided And as for it being good exercise I file that under a pack of lies I keep better fit with a diet pill And getting up ten times during Dr. Phil Waking to the kitchen for some snack And eating it as I’m walking back As for posing danger to my health I find myself with sufficient wealth To handle germs so I’m not nervous... Once a year I hire HAZMAT service! ------ Thanks for reading & commenting.
