Thoughts on Dusting

    1 
                                                                       
                                                                       The saying goes:
                                                                       Cleanliness is next to godliness--
                                                                       makes sense
                                                                       until
                                                                       I have to take a grimy rag in hand
                                                                       spray a stream of greasy matter
                                                                       on a bookcase, slide it around,
                                                                       watch the surface turn
                                                                       to a clean, brown shine

                        Was it worth it all
                         I ask myself,
                        worth the sneezing that followed
                        worth the grease now on my hand
                        worth how clean I feel?

                                                                        3

                                                                        Yep . . .

  2. Lol This is somewhat of a romanticized version after all of the sneezing and the grease and the sneezing and the sneezing and . . . Now do you still want me to help? :)
