A Lovely Little Daydream


Oh, mighty vacuum cleaner, duty calls;
   like magic, you suck up unsettling grime
in my small world of carpets, floors, and walls.
   You gobble up debris in record time
of lint and dust polluting my domain,
   to leave behind a sparkling atmosphere
where peace of wholesome living can remain,
   ensuring my abode is bright and clear.

Oh, hardy vacuum cleaner, if I could
   direct your force upon our total Earth;
suck up its cobwebbed corners, dusty wood
   which clouds our vision to perceive its worth.
Draw off the film- watch clarity unfurled,
   and make it shiny-bright as my small world.

I just vacuumed and it is amazing how much dirt seeps down into the carpet even when it looks clean. A wonderful dream to help our Earth Sandra! GL in the contest. : ) 7
