to my carpet...


They said you were dirty,
all your stains they show.
Time to get you cleaned
so no one will know

You’re not even black yet
just a dull dingy grey,
but they're coming to clean you.
Today, of all days

Oh carpet, dear carpet
with messes soaked in
I feel I mistreated you,
she says with a grin

Out dirt, dust, beer
and dog accidents too.
You'll be nice and clean
after your professional shampoo.


House was listed on Wednesday and we've had two showings so far, can I say MAJOR pain in the arse. Let's hurry up and get this puppy sold so we can get back to Newfoundland!

  2. If you can't get the stains out, place a sofa over it. Works for me. Good thing I have a lot of sofas.

  5. Wishing you good luck, a quick sale and a smooth move... maybe I should say easy transition, smooth move sounds like a laxative commercial.

  6. Good luck with that! That's why I don't like carpet. We've proven that we don't take very good care of it. I prefer hardwood or tile (not that we take very good care of that either). I hope it all goes well and your move is a fairly smooth one!

  8. Love how it uses common issues of today's society. Ok, honestly, I just like the fact that it's a dirty house poem. Makes me think of house party for some odd reason.
