Cleaning

Created for Acme's comedy poetry contest

The other day I cleaned the house
from the bottom to the top,
but when I tried to clean the floors
I couldn't find the mop.

I sent my son out to the shed
to search the corners there,
but he returned without the thing
his hands were truly bare.

Well, I had to think of something
and I had to do it fast.
The dirt was coming back to stay
much thicker than the last.

So I grabbed the trusty water hose
my son, he turned and ran
he knew our water pressure
equaled pent up Hoover Dam.

Now there's water water everywhere
but the mop still can't be found
nor can my son, the neighbor's car,
hell, I 've even lost the ground!
