You'll Dust I Trust
by Hazel Nutter
I have to dust 'though I'd feel better
Painting pictures or penning a letter
If I left dust I'd cough and wheeze
My allergies would make me sneeze
I'd have red eyes, I'd sniff and snore
And so, although it is a chore
I'll Hoover, wash and dust some more
Clean folk live longer - that's the score
One boyfriend's flat was full of dust
His health and sense I did not trust
In his dust, large, I wrote my name
He'd dust before his next girl came!
I'm happy when I'm neat and clean
I'm glad Hoovers came on the scene
The new clean sweeps kept all alive
Before, graves tell, kids died by five
I knew someone really dirty
Don't know him now - he died at thirty
For me, cleaning's an hour or two
Then ten hours gained to write for you.
A restaurant, hotel, cafe
Will watch its business walk away
if everything is full of rust
Their profits lying in the dust.
What falls in open, cracked, milk jugs?
What lurks in dirty, long-haired rugs?
What feeds dust mites which feed bed bugs?
My friends who dust deserve my hugs.

Feb 19 2022. I revised what fall in open white milk jugs
white jugs or white milk, to cracked, not just dust, but cracks, although the subject matter is dust.
I revised My friends who dust will win my hugs
I changed the alliteration to another alliteration which sounded more natural,
to read My friends who dust deserve my hugs.
