I Clean with Distaste

scrubbing a floor
a repetitive chore
dusting a table
I do as I’m able

vacuuming
a boring thing
highly paid worker
housekeeper, no shirker

many of us despise cleaning
cluttered houses are where we’re leaning
washing dishes
rounded swishes

I clean with distaste
do each job in haste
repetition a bore
I have done it before
