The Seussification of Spring Cleaning

You’ve heard of whistle while you work, it helps the time pass more enjoyably. I seem to have a happy little Dr. Seuss file stuck in my brain and as much as I love to clean, tidy and organize; spring cleaning can be an overwhelming less than cheery task – unless you Seussify it!

Winters done, spring is near
But what is this: look here, look here!
Dust and dirt and grime I see
Where to begin, woe is me!

Grab the broom, Grab the mop
Another trash bag, filled to the top
Scrub brush, toothbrush, nailbrush, must rush
So much to do, my head may kersplush!

Now wait a minute, let’s just see
There must an easier way, must be
Perhaps if I jot it down
That’s the trick, now look what’s abound

Wash the walls, dust the books
Shake the rug, clean out the nooks
Donation piles, never fear
Give to others, that part is clear

Sort the toys by size and shape
Oh now, that’s looking pretty great!
Iron wrinkles, polish the china
Don’t think the kitchen has looked much finer!

Recycle the papers, balance the cash
Finances in order, a bit left to stash
Shine up the windows, rehang the sash
Oops forgot that one, remove the nose smash!

The clock says it’s time, to place out of my mind
The task of spring cleaning, for now you will find
I’ve put on the tea and set in my chair
With a smile and long sigh, I am pleased with my lair.
