(There's a wonderful poem by Rose Milligan called 'Dust If You Must'...(do seek it out)...and one day, my eldest sent it to me after she'd invited me to a social thing and I'd declined 'cos I was busy cleaning. This was my tongue-in-cheek reply to her)
Yes I must dust
To appease the demon
That stresses me out
If I cease the cleanin'
Yes I must dust
'Cos if I want the time
To enjoy life's pleasures
I must first vanquish grime
Yes I must dust
Regardless of weather
'Cos that's what helps me
Keep my shit together
Yes I must dust
So bear in mind, please
You would dust too
If you had OCD's
