On the Spring-cleaning!

What’s the point?

Why do we put it upon ourselves so?
Pressure is here cos it
’s that time of year.
Dusting and cleaning where no man should go,
Thick cobwebs loop but we shouldn
’t go near.

Whoever looks under your bed my dear?
No one peeks behind that vintage cupboard.
Is it gossip that one possibly fears?
So and so doesn
’t clean their house, m’lud!

Please take thy home at face value we must,
Just be here, drink tea, eat cake and enjoy.
Ignoring the crap, the dirt, and the dust,
A cleaning company
’s devious ploy.

To make us buy their products and offers,
Charge a small fortune to line their coffers.

And my reply...

Empty wine racks...

Well, as long as I know it's squeaky clean
And please let me try and explain!
It's got the 'feel' of back to pristine
Cleaning products we did abstain.

I've used a lot of our alcohol;
Some Aldi white vinegar too!
Spruced the house until nightfall -
You've got to see my point of view!

Lemon juice and salt from the table
Peroxide put by for my hair!
Nothing with a company label
I humbly promise and swear!

So if you notice the wine rack's now empty
You know why now, as there used to be plenty!


PS. I forgot to mention Elbow Grease
And hope by now I've said my peace!
