Take a damp cloth, and wipe.
Baby mush and toddler goo
Infant generated guilty mucky moo.

Take a damp cloth, and wipe.
Blackboard beatings to within an inch of life
Shaming lethal errors from school days' strife.

Take a damp cloth, and wipe.
Smug-smiled rogue lovers pulling carpet underfoot 
Matrimonial Cinderella subsisting in their soot.

Take a damp cloth, and wipe.
Secret tears of hindsight rolling down a withered chin
Silent shrivelled laughter in a death bed grin.

'Secret tears of hindsight rolling down a withered chin'  - that's a wonderful line!
