Just a Bit of Dust

Recently learned the word malaprop, didn't want to dally on this something silly, cheers dilly The dust flew off the top of the sealant fan Frantically I started to clean my barns out I swept it quickly up in my little dust pan Worked up quite a thirst, without a drought I spot checked with a test of the right glove Everything finally seeming so slick and span Until in the room walked the life of my love And he turned on that damned dusty fan I screamed and yelled from the tip of my lung And passed a list of chores called honey poo Is that what it's called? it's on the top of my tongue Swept up all the dust again, that's what my honey do

I'm smiling and giggling, all at the same time. This is beyond silly dilly, it's ecstatic and fantastic. You've created a masterpiece, and I'm placing this in my favorites, to read again and again. Congratulations Hat, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy
