Cleaning Houses

Cleaning Houses  

by Paul McCann

We drove for an hour and worked for three more

Cleaning the oven and mopping the floor.

Vacuuming their rooms upstairs and downstairs ,

wiping the windows and all of the chairs .

Washing and scrubbing all the walls as well ,

Every stair was cleaned where the dust had fell ,

The showers and toilets where sparkling clean

There were two of us in our cleaning team

We never stopped , until the job was done

we did our best but you just can’t please some,

she questioned our hours and the things we did

I mean like, who was she trying to kid .

Her whole house was as clean as clean could be

and if you ask me , she got it for free .

but she just moaned and groaned , the greedy bitch   

We clean houses for the comfortably rich.
