A House Too Clean
A House Too Clean
By Elton Camp
A dirty house Aunt Suzy couldn’t stand
She always had a cleaning rag in her hand
Her furniture was spotless and had a shine
Windows were washed and looked so fine
Kitchen you’d think no meal had ever seen
The bathrooms were ever sparkling clean
A cluttered closet was, to her, a disgrace
In her storage, everything had its place
Household chores she did early to late
To walk on her floors people did hate
After a long, clean life Suzy passed away
And this is what her tombstone did say
“Good Aunt Suzy lived for many a year
Dust on the piano was her greatest fear.”
