Ode to Spring Housecleaning.....

How do I clean thee?
Let me count the ways.....
I clean thy tracked-up floors
so many lovely days.
When spring begins to sigh
and birds their songs do sing,
with cleanser and a sponge,
I clean thy bathtub ring.
Outdoors my heart would be,
but home, sweet home doth call.
Alas, I cannot go outdoors
until I've cleaned it all!

 Housecleaning Nursery Rhymes

Housecleaning she will go--
Housecleaning she will go--
Get rid of that dust,
It's an absolute must!
Housecleaning she will go! 

Mama, be nimble!
Twinkletoes!
Mama, jump over
the vacuum hose!

Hickory, Dickory, Dock,
A mouse ran up the clock!
Mom grabbed her broom,
Mouse met his doom--
Hickory, Dickory, Dock!

Little dust balls,
Come blow your horn!
You'll all be sent packing
this early spring morn!
Where's the little wife
who vacuums the floor?
She's gone to buy Endust
down at the store! 

Mama, put your apron on,
                  your apron on,
                  your apron on,
Mama, put your apron on,
We'll all clean house!

Hey, diddle, diddle!
The mop's in the middle!
Mom's scrubbing with vigor and vim!
Housecleaning's begun,
and soon will be done,
for her bucket is filled to the brim!

Happy Housecleaning, One and All!
