Vacuuming
Every day, it’s my least favorite chore,
the worst because it’s such a bore.
The kitchen, living room, and dining room—
oh, how I dislike the vacuum!
Pushing and pulling across the floor,
I do it every day, but there is always more.
The machine roars like a lion in its lair
as I get rid of the dust and dog hair.
By five o’clock, I know that I must
have vacuumed up all the dog hair and dust.
Over and over like a horrible song on repeat
the vacuum and I continue to meet.
