Neatness and Godliness
Every picture I’ve seen of you as a child,
You wear your hair in plaits.
A stern middle parting and two dark brown braids
Falling down on each shoulder.
A maypole’s dream.

Standard Neatness
S-tandard neatness is applied,
E-rasing the morbid mystery;
A-trocious ailment is avoided,
N-astiness is eerie enemy.
G-ruesome grime is washed away,
R-eliable alcohol stops the menace;
E-nhanced hygiene kills the germs,
E-mploying standard
N-eatness.

Neatness Protocol
N-eatness protocol cleans
I-nvisible dirt of the devil;
K-illing the pandemic plague
K-eeps one from being
I-ll.
G-et neatness protocol
I-nto the glorious victory;
O-bliterate the vicious
V-irus of morbid mystery.
A-pply the health standard,
N-icely use the alcohol;
N-ew normal now employs
I-ts neatness protocol.
