You should come to my place.
It’s tons better than the last time.
The towels have all been cleaned.
Well, at least they were wettened.
I’ve changed the sheets twice this year
– and that’s calendar year!

I’ve made lots of changes
the feng shui is totally off the hook
with the windows whiter
the socks sorted
and all the rats relocated
to a better part of town.

I have new room-mates
with a better handle on rights to privacy
and property
and, I swear,
the only dirt I’m aware of
is in the pots.

Work has been done.
Maids have been hired.
Antiseptics have been used – liberally
and the roaches
know better than to crawl inside humans anymore
– especially after last time.

So
what do you say?
