Feathering Your Nest
My feather duster shed a plume,
From overuse, you might assume,
But you’d be wrong; my living room
Is good at hiding dust.
Yet that stray feather made me muse
On how the furnishings we choose
Provide our visitors with clues
About us they can trust.
Our décor, modern or antique
And ostentatious, plain or sleek,
Allows much more than just a peek
At what’s below the crust.
Though birds may decorate their nest
With shiny objects they’ve finessed,
Like us, they hope they have impressed
By how they’ve fluffed and fussed.
