Early on I did not notice

The need to clean

Always and everything

Dishes washed before putting them into the dishwasher

Stains removed in clothes before washing

A face washed at night and then cleansing cream applied

Oh yes, yes, we could not survive without cleaning

But couldn’t you please

Leave my coffee cup alone without

Putting cleansing powder in it to soak.

No matter died of coffee stain
