House, I Hear You Calling
House, I hear you calling
Come rid me of my dust
Gosh, you are persistent
If I really must
Trouble is I'm 'dicted
To my computer screen
Watching all these UK
Minds (themselves unseen)
How then would you feel like
Dust-covered just like me
Would you still be able
To see your poetry?
I hear what you are saying
I hear you through your dust
To make you/me both happy
I'll clean you. Yes you must
Don Matthews June 2018
I really must stop writing and get dusting. Good one ?
Now this is rather interesting
I've got you rhyming too
Hugh and Brian have hopped on board
Joined the Hoover crew
Who else is gonna come on board?
And join both Brian and Hugh
Who else out there in rhyming land
Will Hoover along too? ?
The dust is settling everywhere,
On your table on your chair.
The spider's webbed around your blind.
Kill him now don't be kind.
Otherwise you will be overrun,
By spiders ,dust and not much fun.
I see an ant crawl on your floor.
Hurry ,hurry close the door.
Yes you must get rid of the dust,
As previously you have discussed.
Get the hoover out from under the stairs,
Be a house owner who really cares.
Switch it on you really must,
And get rid of all the dirty dust.

I'm reminded of the song "This Old House" - sung by Rosemary Clooney (or was it Jo Stafford?) on one of
those old 78s of yesteryear. But what
is dust but transferred matter? I recall Quentin Crisp boasting that his city flat in New York was a haven for the stuff. My own attitude is to become active when it is adopting a layer-like appearance - or threatens to dull the
sharp images of my PC/TV screens!! Then a flick of the
duster or a weary push of the floor cleaner is resorted to
under this tiresome visual pressure.
