Untidy House

UNTIDY HOUSE 

Untidy house!
Round and round
Racing ‘round like headless fowl
Cleaning, cleaning frenzy is the go,
Guests are arriving nearing so
House of daily living though
Is not what they want to see?
All spic-n-span is not of daily grind.
So your visiting folk
Are introduced into a world
Of a falsehood here
But for them all they want to see
Is You!
The person of the house,
The rellie,
Or the one they call friend
And the one they’ve come to know.

Untidy house!
Tis equally same
As some wearing tattoo,
Ring nose piercing,
Being wheel chair bound mobility,
Speaking with a lisp,
Walking with aide of stick,
For those same souls
Maybe disfigurement 
And if it’s that
Then over time
Magically a disappearing act
Therefore all the world to see
The real person in the skin within.

Untidy house no more......

Hi, Francis! I like this poem as it was crafted well together. I think this will be put to my favorites; it did me a chuckle. Unfamiliar with your work, I believe in following to try to know the guy behind this quill. Well Done! Best of Wishes, William

This is well penned indeed. I have read sixty poems today and this is the one I will remember the longest.
