Today’s lesson is the accent on doing only those
things you believe accord the greatest ovation, a
persuasion ignoring how tawdry it can be - to put
it more sanely - ignoring the wages of sin means
someone still has to pay; so we play those fancy
games with roller-applied rich terracotta paint to
concrete expanse that passes as our patio, and
hey, lookee here, now ain’t that just great!
And it is - where practising finally achieved skill
enough to get it right, so there is a wee bit we’ll
have another crack at, but not tonight, cleaning
floor tile grouting with bleach put paid to energy
that remained, anyway, the final strokes belong
to she whose brilliant idea it was
It’ll give her comfort - so while window exteriors
are still to clean and a carpet or two to vacuum -
we’ve finally achieved what we hope will be the
presentation best to sell the bloody place, I say
it’s far too clean to live in comfortably - but then
it isn’t my case to second guess
