The Writer’s Workshop

***

I chose number 4:

I so love the chore of cleaning floors.

I can’t think of anything I’d like to do more!

Well I probably shocked you with that last bit,

But wheeling myself with a vacuum is a welcomed trick

And let’s not forget I use a mop, a Swiffer

Getting off stains takes strong arms, stiffened

To scrub and scrub and then see it’s clean

What a delight! I mean…

Mopping and then rolling over it to create more work

You probably think I’m a jerk!

But as most things in life you have to agree

A clean floor satisfies a selfish need

It started when I was a child

My mother’s cleaning was never mild

Scrub till it shines was her advice

That’s what I think when my floors’ look nice.
