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...... Francis Cooper - Mac © 22-Jun-20

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.
