NONSENSE VERSE

Housework After Midnight

I stay up mopping after midnight

I use a flashlight

That’s what I do, always mopping

After midnight, cleaning up for you

While I was vac-a-q-ming

An attachment whispered to me

Wafting on an upfloat

I heard a silent dust mote

Say I sound like Arlo Guthrie, that hippie

He rhymed motorcycle and pickle

Pronunciation not too fickle

And just like both the Trudeaus

Who lived upon the Rideau

The kid ain’t worth a nickel, a hammer or a sickle

Well I’ve raised the carpet pile

Singing Patsy all the while

Baseboards are drudgery

And I should let the angel be

Time to wash the kitchen tile, shine it up with style
