Should Vacuuming Be Listed As Full-Time Occupation

Is it any wonder that nobody likes vacuuming the floor, Mention the word vacuum and there is a rush for the door. Reading a newspaper or a woman's magazine is a dangerous occupation, If the vacuuming has not been done. If for the sake of long term security you are willing, I will give you a shilling every time you find the vacuum working. Blocked pipes are another reason that vacuuming is so time consuming, When others on a break are laughing instead of helping. There are so many similarities in Vacuuming, To what others call working for a living. Tools that are useless, Workmates who pull their weight less. Never enough money for a new machine, But always enough for a fishing line. No interest in your invention, Of a machine with more function. A supervisor on your case, You can never seem to please. So, lets make it official, Doing the vacuuming should be rewarded more than a little.

I've never seen a Grook poem before, David. It is an interesting form of poetry. A person should be paid according to the quality and quantity of work. I'll read more of your poetry later, David. I'm going to follow your poetry so we can get to know each other. I hope you'll read some of my poetry and follow my poetry. A poet friend (to be) in Texas, Bill

great to hear from you Bill. It took me a while to read up on when to use a Grook instead of Burlesque. I use both on and off. They suit my weird sense of humour. Best regards David in NZ.

Ahh but you can feel smug after taking it apart, putting it back together and it all working again. Even have conversations with the dust bunny 'better luck next time dust, you didn't stand a chance - I'm a professional!' Can you twirl the vacuum cleaner at this point? They say if you do what you love you never work a day in your life - maybe you just need some shake and vac to liven it all up? Haha - fun poem :)

We have small cleaning company for private clients. They supply everything including vacuums which mostly work. I think vacuums are like shavers, they will always be inventing so called better ones. I prefer ones with cords. Of course we could always eliminate dust and crumbs instead? Thanks for reading. Have a great week.
