Oct. 8, 2005 - The Complaining Dustrag
The dustrag complained and moaned and griped
about all the chests and chairs it wiped.
"I'm tired and threadbare, and I need a break,
But, no- you need me to wipe up spilled cake!"
Then one day the dustrag got its wish.
It was used to pack a fragile dish.
In storage neatly packed away,
For years it didn't see the light of day.
Left in the dark, with nothing to do,
it instantly began to stew.
It wept and wailed and bemoaned its fate,
"I have to vacation with a dumb plate!"
Then one day the box was opened wide,
and a person peered down inside,
saw the rag and pulled it out.
What the rag did-do you have any doubt?
It began to wail, "No not this again!"
And soon ended up in the dustbin.
