Spring, and the social platforms fill with news.
People with houses (dust and cat-fur free)
reporting triumphs, posting gleaming views
(including video clips!) so all can see
not the piled-up detritus, wintry waste,
garlands of cobwebs on each magazine,
clutter and dog-eared tat but great good taste:
light, airy, polished and so bloody clean.
Enough! I can’t reach Squeaky-Clean but still
Augean-Stables-Style will have to go.
No more excuses, corners cut; my will
is resolute (my knees, alas, less so).
Now is the hour! No time lost to pretence.
Go forth and clean: you know that this makes sense.
