She cleans and vacuums day and night
and if the carpet does not look right
she tells us, her kids, to write a note and stick it on the door.
"I am delivering a baby, please, come back tomorrow after four pm. I will be back by then."
She keeps vacuuming the carpet's nap
till it all faces in the same direction.
Who knows her can see the satisfaction
on her face, after all the hours she spent,
day after day,
it is the Hoover vacuum cleaner who is her closest friend.
(This is my entry for the daily 5-minute freewrite with the prompt nap. See @mariannewest)
