Julie Draper Poet Rhyme

Window

O window, window, you taunt me so
Clearly my cleaning standard's low 
Covered in grime and spider web
My love for you is at an ebb 

Challenging me each time I pass 
I can no longer gaze upon the grass 
Because thick mould has turned you black 
Murky reminder that I am slack 

I'm sure I cleaned you recently 
Or maybe that's just fantasy 
I sure as hell don't feel inclined 
To clean you now (or anytime)!

Sara Kendrick April 29, 2023 at 1:26 PM Good one that is on the winner's list. I mostly am not inclined to do windows either, but sometimes they just reach a point that they need to be cleaned. Congratulations on this being on the winner's list. Thank you for sharing. Sara Julie Draper April 30, 2023 at 9:25 PM Thanks very much Sara :) I am guilty of leaving window cleaning until I absolute cant ignore them anymore! Thanks for stopping by.
