'Twas the Night before Thanksgiving

Dust Bunnies


'Twas the Night before Thanksgiving
and all through the house
the Dust Bunnies were scurrying
to pack and move out.

For here came this lady
with a broom in one hand
a mop in the other,
Intruder to their land.

They had been happy here,
for months! They complained.
They had planned on living here,
for as long as it rained.

Out! Out! shouted the broom -
wielding Witch.
"You've all got to go
before I can sit down and Stitch!"

"People are coming,
from here and from there
and I won't have them knowing
that I shelter dust hares!

After Thanksgiving,
I'll forget you exist,
you can all move back in,
because on my list...

cleaning is something
you do once a year.
Now The Man knows the truth,
It is just as he feared!

A wife who won't clean
except under pressure,
who feeds the dust bunnies
while fabric she measures.

But today is the Day
that dust bunnies see light !
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL
AND TO ALL A GOOD FIGHT!
