A
Lick and a Promise
“A lick and a promise,”
Mom would say
when she didn’t have
time to clean properly.
I picked up on that
phrase with a passion.
Half-hearted hurried
cleaning with a vow.
Next time, I’ll move
everything to vacuum.
Next time, I’ll free the
corners from cobwebs.
Next time, I’ll clean
the counters to the end.
Next time, I’ll dust the Venetian blinds.
Why am I in a muddle to
get to the next project?
Wouldn’t it be better to
do less, but do it well?
