Dusting on a shelf

Find some words near forgotten

Tidy them away

Standing at the sink

Rinsing excess words away

Haiku dishes clean

Housework makes me tired!

It's a never-ending chore,

Please rescue me now!

Cobwebs in my mind

Words adrift in the corners

Vacuum them away

Dog hairs in my frig

Dog hairs on the ceiling high

Daughter's dog is here

I don't care for hair

When she leaves today I'm sad

Dog hair all that's left

Recycling paper

Bottles cans aluminum

They will be transformed

Junk mail never stops

Tidal waves of recycling

Will recede today

Line up the boxes

On the very highest shelf

full of memories
