Pro-articulated Ladders
PRO-ARTICULATED LADDERS
(for those who feel the shopping catalogues overstate their products.

Insomnia wakes the dreamer,
Blinking through double-glazed eyes,
Up from the warmy bed
She searches winter’s frosty skies.
Padding across carpeted floors,
Past polished dresser
And out of the door,
She carries her pro-articulated ladder.
Up against the eves they go,
With heated gloves and bunion protectors,
In the ultimate winter boots,
She’s equipped with solar reflectors.
She climbs the heavens
Into the stars
With Dupers of Shoppers
Catalogued ladders.
In eleven locking positions
She reaches each constellation,
Rearranging the pattern
To allow the cleaning of Saturn.
Changing starry lights to everlasting bulbs
On ladders cost effective
She polishes moons mirrors
Until they’re highly reflective.
Then, sitting on a bonus platform,
She shakes her feather duster-
So falling parts of remnant stars
Create a luminous new cluster.
