A clean house

Well, I don't know about that, but there's something about spring cleaning that makes a natural-born housewife feel virtuous.  I've been working like crazy this week, inside and out. After the dark months, what could be nicer than sun shining through clean windows into dust free corners?  It's the small things in life.  

Spring Cleaning

Clean away the cobwebs
make light of dirt and grime
wave high those feather dusters
it's now spring cleaning time
for spring's first day has broken
and those windows must be cleaned
cold winter's grey has gone away
replaced with fresher scenes
ah! the joy of such spring cleaning
oh! the joy of household life
sometimes I am the paragon
of a 1950's wife!
