Whiteley Creek Homestead

This day, the 7th of April,  has been officially declared National "No Housework Day". I've been wanting to share a poem passed along to me by my daughter Jessica that I know so many can relate to. I decided today is the perfect day. (Picture is from a Dick & Jane reader circa 1962.)

Cleaning Poem

I asked the Lord to tell me

Why my house is such a mess.

He asked if I'd been 'computering',

And I had to answer "yes."

He told me to get off my fanny

And tidy up the house.

And so I started cleaning up…

The smudges off my mouse.

I wiped and shined the topside.

That really did the trick…

I was just admiring my work..

I didn't mean to 'click.'

But click, I did, and oops I found

A real absorbing site

That I got SO way into.

I was into it all night.<<Sigh>>

Nothing's changed except my mouse

It's very, very shiny.

I guess my house will stay a mess…

While I sit here on my hiney.
