Cleanliness, next to godliness?
my perspective on insanity...

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust"
I think most people are familiar with the line.
It's a verse from the bible, that sticks in my head.
Could'nt say which page, chapter or verse,
never took the time to transcribe the details to my harddrive (brain).

Considering that some would say I'm just crazy
or maybe even a little lazy.
I find that keeping house is a waste of time,
much more important things on my mind.

Seems my friends are fanatics when it comes,
to keeping their house sparkle clean.
OCD they blame, can't sit still longer than it takes a bee to sting.
I'd rather watch the grass grow.

A thousand products on the shelf,
promise to keep your olfactories happy,
with the illusion of clean, for clean has no smell.
If you desire a country meadow or mountain spring,
even the scent of ripe fruits
just pick an item spray the air
light a candle...all is peaches and cream.

Now here is my dilemma, my pondering if you will.
If I'm "dusting" the bookshelves,
removing "dust bunnies from under the bed,
are'nt I being just a little disrespectful of the dead!
Just hanging around in there final resting place beneath my bed!
