Housework
I have to dust my house
That is now as quiet as a mouse
So to the living room I go
Carrying a furniture sprayer and a dull yellow cloth in a tow
I remove the books and other items from the coffee table
That seems so still and stable
With the yellow cloth in hand, I remove the dust
With a SWISH; cleaning furniture is a must
Before I finished with the coffee table, I inspected it carefully
I was proud of myself, but I finished my job just barely
Throughout my house I cleaned and cleaned
Being very happy, with joy I beamed
Since I was done or so I thought, I marched off to the dining room
Seeing bowls of soup my mom placed on the table for my brothers and I to consume
Noticing me, she told me that more furniture needs my attention
Seeing that my break was short-lived, I wished that sentence wasn’t mentioned
I walked over to the TV stand
With both eyes I scanned
And noticed that much dust was lying there
Undisturbed, I swear
With the yellow cloth in hand, I swiped
As fast as the letters in this poem I typed
Once I cleared the dust, I sprayed
On the TV stand very carefully; making sure that the wires nearby aren’t frayed
With the cloth I cleaned that little spray and I wiped the other side too
Both sides I cleaned through and through
Lastly, I cleaned the shelf that holds my mom’s china and silverware
I was also handling a china plate with special care
On the dining room table I lowered that china plate and picture frame
For both, the cautious handling was the same
When I finished cleaning the shelf, I put away both items
They’re both like a priceless diamond
Looks like my housework is done
Now it’s time to have some fun!
