A House Too Clean

A too-clean house is a sign of a wasted life.

A House Too Clean

 

By Elton Camp

 

A dirty house Aunt Suzy couldn’t stand

She always had a cleaning rag in her hand

 

Her furniture was spotless and had a shine

Windows were washed and looked so fine

 

Kitchen you’d think no meal had ever seen

The bathrooms were ever sparkling clean

 

A cluttered closet was, to her, a disgrace

In her storage, everything had its place

 

Household chores she did early to late

To walk on her floors people did hate

 

After a long, clean life Suzy passed away

And this is what her tombstone did say

 

“Good Aunt Suzy lived for many a year

Dust on the piano was her greatest fear.”
