Another Fine Mess by Karen Cherry Threadgill
    What A Mess! Contest Winner 

 
 

The  Swiffer pads won't cut it.

Blood sometimes can get thick.

I didn't mean to kill him.

But, geez., I threw the brick.

 

Who knew I would have such good aim?

It seemed a cowboy 's trick.

 

No geriatric aim's so true.

I can't often hit a lick.

************************************

 

So, he bled like he was trying to paint,

The entire kitchen floor.

 

He is still giving pain to me,

Leaving me with gore.

 

I have used up all the towels,

But there must be some more.

 

As usual  he gives me problems,

But who's keeping score.

*****************************

 

I found the linen cabinet.

I am saved at last.

 

It's all cleaned up and sparkling.

 Blood is in the past.

 

Everything is put up.

His "die" has now been cast.



 

When the need is very great, 

I can and do move fast.
