Chores Are a Bore

by LisaMay


• 

I turn up the tune,

dance with vacuum cleaner

and bounce off the walls.

When time was precious

I stored up each chore.

Now, with time, they bore.

Mr. Hoover sucks:

he lacks personality

and his heart is dark.

Shall I try Sam Spade?

I’d prefer Humphrey Bogart,

but would he dig me?

Author's Note:
There's ALWAYS something better to do that the housework. Because I expect no visitors, I can get away with lower standards for a while. Shame on me!
I put loud music on when I am vacuuming (my machine is a Hoover brand). I live alone, so I don't have a dance partner except for Mr. Hoover.
I don't like gardening much either. Did you detect that Sam Spade was a character played by actor Humphrey Bogart? (In 'The Maltese Falcon').
