Trying To Clean Inspires Me

Nothing inspires me more to paint or pen
Than trying to clean
I despise everything about cleaning
I would rather be pushed into a canyon
With five hundred hungry salivating wolves
Than pick up a dust rag
Proof of this could be seen yesterday
When I ran over and wrote “clean me”
with my finger in dust on the table in the living room.
My husband was horrified.
Or anyway, he acted like it.
Scoff. Scoff.

Well, sometimes one needs to make themselves a note, to get things done. Enoyed.

Caren, did Joe get snarky with you??? Hand him the dust rag and say "Go for it!"
