His sloppy slipshod attitude
Was picked up by both daughters
His son took after his wife
A minimalist who never abided a mess
The son never let the hoarders into his house
Losing touch with his father and his sisters
Choosing neatness and cleanliness over people
Just as his mother had done.
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.

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.
