From Renn, When I am Trying to Clean



Tell me not, human, I am lazy,
That from the place I lie
To be cleaned like crazy,
From vacuum’s noise I fly.

True, a racket will try to chase
First from bed to the chair;
But with an apathy embrace
Continued sleep right there.

Yet this constancy is such
That your pleas shall ignore;
I will not move, human, so much,
For I love comfort more.

                              -- Not Richard Lovelace

    1. Next to my late Tungsten, Renn is the least disturbed by such things.

  3. Tell me not (Bellen) I am unkind
    That from the vacuuming
    Of thy clean breast and tidy mind
    To bed and pillow I fly.

  4. Oh Renn! You're such a poet. Who knew? Well, you may not be Richard Lovelace, but maybe Longfellow? :-)
