Mess! I day-dreamed I had an angel
To tidy up my hopeless house
It worked whilst I dreamed at night
Like Beatrix Potter's helpful mouse
I woke and went around my house
Did a fearful quick inspection
I kicked things on the floor aside
Under their, start here, direction
After one minute, I did two
I saw there was so much to do
Told angel cleaner, 'I'll help you -
I'll just do this one small section
'While I'm at it, I'll clean the floor
And later I'll hoover some more.'
I'm impressed what lost things I find
Books sorted, could be found when blind
I'm sure you'd like to ask me
How to contact my angel friend?
And if they're free, you'll borrow one
Just read this note I'll gladly send
I did not need much reflection
On my room and task selection
But if you're tired and faint-hearted
The secret's simple. Get started
Imagine a helpful angel
Stands near, pointing the direction
Planning to return for photos,
Before and after inspection
What's heart-warming and impressive
Is how much, solo, I have done
Simply imagining we're two
'though all this work was done by one.
