cleanliness comes after dirtiness
but dirty hands get the work done
sometimes difficult, sometimes fun
godliness sound a bit too holy
and cleanliness just too - cleanly
i think i'll be down to earth - imperfect, dirtly

Hi, Harlan...Thanks for your comment on my 'verbal algebra'. Most of the words and ideas I used in this poem came from Poetry.com's...daily Poetry-in-motion contest. I expanded it due to another poemhunter's comments. This poem of yours...Dirtliness...is VERY GOOD! ! So simple in words but nice and deep with thought. Thanks again for your comments. Your experiences 'on the street' must have been great fodder for poetry. Write more...I like your style. (But, go in and edit out the extra 'get' in the second line.) Barb
