Dust if you must


Many people here
In the world today
They would rather clean there home
Than go out to play
They clean just in case
Someone may arriver
Not realizing those people
Are out living there live
 
So no need of time to waste
On cleaning a house
Won't you rather be out
Holding your spouse
Personally I will be out
Than sitting with doubt
Because I have a life
In need of some play
Who care if my house is not spotless each day
 
But I know a house
Is not home unless it been live in
And living come mess
From the floors to the ceiling
 
So dust if you must
But remember this saying
 
Life is too short
Don't go wasting a day
Old age will find you
And it won't be discussed
When you go as we all do
You will make much more dust
