A Writer's Ode to Cleanliness

Scribing Order in the Apartment's Grandeur

By Addison SmithPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

In the land of tidy spaces, where order takes its stand,

A tale unfolds of cleaning, in an apartment so grand.

No mystical journeys, no magic brooms in sight,

Just a diligent writer, making everything right.

Dust motes dance, seeking refuge in the air,

As the writer wields a cloth, with utmost care.

Sweeping through the rooms, a purposeful quest,

A symphony of cleanliness, the very best.

The vacuum hums, a melody of suction power,

Capturing debris in its determined hour.

No need for poetic exaggeration here,

Just a simple task, keeping the atmosphere clear.

In the kitchen, a battle with grease and grime,

The writer scrubs, takes their time.

No fanciful words, just soap and water,

A mundane task, but it makes things brighter.

The bathroom gleams, tiles shining bright,

No need for metaphors to take flight.

Just good old elbow grease and a scrubbing brush,

Ensuring cleanliness, without any hush.

So here's the tale of a writer's endeavor,

No poetic escapades, just cleanliness, forever.

In the world of apartments, where order prevails,

The writer leaves a mark, as cleanliness unveils.
