there is so much
dusting for me to do
where to start my mission
I haven't a clue

tons of it cover
the kitchen sideboard
and there are kilos of it
on the six inch skirting boards

the feather duster
is willing to shift it
but I haven't enough energy
to use it

maybe the dusting can wait
until Thursday
then I'll have sufficient pep
to flick away

dusting isn't my favorite
household chore
as a matter of fact
it is a right royal bore

I'll let a few more
dust particles settle
and concentrate
on boiling the kettle
