A Vacuum Cleaner How Nice
The worst wedding gift I ever received was a vacuum cleaner.
I despise vacuuming and my dog hate the sound of it.
I wanted elegant things – glass goblets, droplet prisms,
lace curtains, not a small round annoyingly loud vacuum
cleaner. Thanks Mom and Dad. Great gift! This was before
you could make a list. You got whatever someone else
wanted

For all the work you do,
those daily chores beyond the norm
in a pinch you come through,
a vacuum cleaner built so strong.
For you my electric power broom
on dust and grit do raid.
You chase dirt from any room.
So very thankful you were made.
A vacuum cleaner, dust buster machine
this is an ode to you
Can't just say you're a

For a Vacuum Cleaner
You make my life so easy
sucking up the dirt and fluff,
hair that makes me quite queasy
and all sorts of unmentionable stuff.
You never get tired or wheezy
and help when things get rough.
Or when I feel rather uneasy,
you show you’re always tough enough.

For a Vacuum Cleaner
Oh, mighty vacuum cleaner, like magic,
you gobble debris polluting my domain
that pervades carpets, surfaces, and air-
leaving behind, a spotless, pristine home.
Oh, vacuum cleaner- fancying you could
direct your sweeping power over Earth-
suck in its choking, atmospheric grime;
eliminate, cleanse- alike my tiny world.

For a Vacuum Cleaner
We glide together clearing grime away
Along murky rooms, under thick rugs
I lean on your unconditional care,
Absorbing this debris of my life.
Never mind the uproar you bring
For the comfort shared is enough
Protecting me from filth and trash-
Dust-buster, now I can spa!

Oh, blessed vacuum cleaner, faithful friend
True in service to the end.
Every day I count my luck,
Grateful for your powerful suck.
My carpets pristine, quite dust free,
With very little work from me.
No wonder, after all you’ve meant,
They named you after a President

The Vacuum Cleaner Bong
Once a hippie with a "high" demeanor
Made a big "Bong" from a vacuum cleaner
The dust he forgot
His coughing throat caught
Now there's no pot, and his face's much greener!

Vacuum Cleaner
Red furry vacuum silently goes across the floor
Consuming dropped homemade southern biscuit
Then looks up with sad eyes beggin' for more
Just for fun!!
