Poem Artwork

... could have done without the
extreme hoovering of
Mr Kleen on a Spring
cleaning binge:  when he said
he wanted things dusted,

that's exactly what he
meant - none of this namby-
pamby-swipe-rag-around-
in-order-to-appease.
No, he picked things up, swept

aside dustbunnies and
cobwebs that had taken
residence, along with
papers, long forgotten.
Pots and dishes, items

to be thrown through windows;
he scrubbed floors and walls so
clear, you couldn't see them
anymore - unless you
looked a mile away.  He's

a demon when it comes
to wanting things neat - it's
just too bad Mr Kleen
forgot to put things back
where they belonged, before -

Delightful piece of whimsy, Karla; enjoyed! Very well penned and illustrated; brava! Looks like that Mr. Kleen is Mr. Funnel to me; he'd get things done in a hurry! Just suck it up, and there you go! Clean as a whistle! LOL

I just sit in the porch, drink Coors and enjoy the vyew as I hear Mr. Kleen puting the house upside down, before going inside I sweep the soles of my shoes, though.
