The Ballade (of my ) Weekly Clean
Some rely on cleaning machines
the vacuum to suck up the dust,
and one to scrub floors gleaming clean
replacing same when those get bust.
A hammer, these, to crack that nut
as I think of the leccy price
you can hear me go tut tut tut
cloth, mop and pail for me, suffice.
No smart sweat-top, nor cut off jeans
but butt nekked I swing my butt,
to make dust motes fly in sun beams
my mind flies with these, as it must...
momentarily, till I'm pushed
by brush in hand and in a trice
I'm back to Earth to strut my stuff
cloth, mop and pail for me, suffice.
A cloth, Acdo, a mop some bleach
my butt high nose down as I scrub,
recalling grandma's quick brief screach
quickly cured by her back-hand rub.
The bleach does it to me, I blub,
at memories that sting enticed,
as I rinse out my cloth in the tub,
cloth, mop and pail for me, suffice.
Not for me the machine's hub-hub
If offered I say " ain't my vice "
I'll keep my Aladdin's lamp to rub
cloth, mop and pail for me, suffice.
