clean as you go.
go you as clean.

the pots the pans
your dirty hands
clean the counter
and the floor
wait for supper
clean each area as a chore.
clean your face,
wipe your nose
clean your hands before
 and after you go.
clean the sink
so it won't stink.
sweep and mop the floor.
wipe the walls, and change 
your drawers.
be mindful of grease on the ceiling
and the floor.
close down to clean
that is keen
and smart if you know
whats going on.
bacteria grows
and I suppose
you should have learned
 such as a chore.
