'Dust Sheep' ....... [humor; Housecleaning (Not): Very Short] Poem by Bri Edwards

'Dust Sheep' ....... [humor; Housecleaning (Not): Very Short]



Beneath our king-sized bed, on our bedroom's wooden floor,
I discovered an immense flock of silent, grazing, wooly sheep.
I used to call these (balls-of-dust-and-hair) "Dust Bunnies", but I can no more.
They've grown so since the vacuum broke. So for now a flock we'll keep.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
i don't like the rhyme scheme. perhaps it would sound better if the lines were shorter? but i NEEDED long lines (at least the last one, and then i had to lengthen the others to follow suit) .
YES, we do have 'dust sheep', but our vacuum is NOT broken. my wife's getting old! and her shoulder(s) is(are) not doing well now.: ( AND she doesn't want ME to clean; honest! ! ! well, the sheep may be shorn soon, as she mentioned it the other day [i'll believe it when i don't see them next time i look under the bed]. bri :)

Thank God I can't see under my bed. Grizzly bears are probably hiding there!

We have two large dogs so we call our fuzzy critters under beds and hiding in dark corners dust puppies.
