I thought I saw a
Hoover Junior go by
Heavy, metallic in the
corner of my eye

It shouldn't be there
as I'm on the train
Another symptom
of undue strain

We had a Senior,
green, with a light
Lasted for years
till it gave up the fight

They don't make Hoovers
like that anymore
Too much investment
to waste on a floor

Thanks Pia and other liker (new word for predictive text). Thanks alvin. Someone tried to sell my mam and dad one of those for 800 leading to a memorable moment when I chucked them and their converted Tiger tank out of the door. Memories.
