As corporate cogs go home for the day Offices empty, regaining their still. Serene and reflective, sweeping away Janitor’s magic unfolds, if you will. His footfalls echo as the dusk falls fast, Away from the noise, he’s working the night. Crucial starry role in a one man cast Sheds sparkle and shine by the morning light. Wonder if he hums a familiar tune, Grooving around comfy company chairs, Close companions - the kettle and the moon - True confidantes of his midnight affairs. Though one man cast stays behind the curtain, His spic and span act shows clean and certain. offices empty janitor’s magic unfolds his footfalls echo One man cast working the night ~ the kettle and the moon, his confidantes

I love it, Margarita. My son-in-law is a janitor at a middle school, so I had to send this to him (lol) Congratulations on your win! Happy New Year.. Charlie

I thought I read this and commented already. Is this a repost, Maggie? It is a thankless job. You have honored the custodian well.
