Jan Allison Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Lickety Split

Like an Olympic athlete
Iris sets to work at lightning speed
Cleaning her designer
Kitchen and spacious bathroom.
Everywhere she
Touches
Yields to her fluffy feather duster

She hasn't a moment to spare as
Previous viewers are coming to
Look around her flat for a second time.
If she reduces the price a little
They may be the new owners!
