Home maintenance in lockdown
Before lockdown: your home?
Notice how everyone is into home maintenance in lockdown for COVID-19? Or else they’re doing major house cleaning or decluttering all of a sudden. You know it’s true. And that’s a fine thing, providing many rewards including a sense of control over something we can control, if we so choose.
Home maintenance in lockdown becomes high priority
Please finish this limerick. Or write another one.
There was an old woman of eighty
with a home in a terrible statey.

Thank you! and thank goodness I’m not the only poet looking at this Bad Drawing, and searching for the right words.
She climbed on a chair
and said “I don’t care.”
as the dust rose she made her escapee.
Haha and Yay and Good Stuff thou poet!
She looked at the mess
and had to confess
Twas more important to eat lots of CAKEY.
Excellence incarnate. Bring me cake.
🍰🧁
She leapt on her broom
And “Bewitched” every room
Now she’ll e’en satisfy Health and Safety!
I am so enjoying these.
Takes more than C-19
to make me housework-keen
and who’ll see it anyway, matey?
Guffaws here as I read this one!
She started to mutter
At the horrible clutter
But then filled her plate with cream pastry
Stay safe, stay healthy
Thank you, thank you Dan! For the limerick and your kindness.
There was an old woman of eighty
with a home in a terrible statey
she said that she must
get rid of the dust
but went to the pub with her matey.
Love it. And am vastly amused by the fact that my second cartoon has made zero impact on any of our poets so far. It’s more than a theme, it’s a movement!
We haven’t got used to the new normal yet!
I don’t know how anyone is getting anything done. Lack of activity makes me sleepy and there is so much on my to do list!
I think people take a while to find their rhythm. There’s hope yet!
She got off the couch
No more be a slouch
And promptly began to lose weighty!
So good!
Thanks. Hope you do this again.
Aha! There’s a thought.
But when C-19 struck
She got rid of the muck
Now her home is looking quite stately
Yes! That’s what I’m seeing all around me, at least among my friends.
There was an old woman of eighty
with a home in a terrible statey.
She wrote and she blogged
She cared and she sobbed.
But she knew what to do
To love and renew.
Now here’s a different tone! X
She said I don’t care
I’ve got whiskey right here
So crack ‘er open and she’ll be right Rachey
Oh dear I have laughed a lot today. Nice one, Christine!
