A Broom is a Flight of Fancy

    A broom is a flight of fancy
      at the witching hour
    A machine gun uncased
      in peril, it’s power

    Waltzing Matilda
      on the ballroom floor
    Sweeps me away
      ~ with so much more

Yes, even a broom in the hand helped sweep the floor unsheathed as a pure work of art setting to flight. That was an extraordinary business, I believe you are speaking of 1948? That's what comes to my mind anyway, when even the bees came to help in the land of milk and honey as they launched their stingers! Miraculous.
