March Meanders In.

Torrens Creek works hard to stay green.

February left us with little rain and plenty of dust. Willi-willies blow down our dirt road and carry dust through the house. It is a constant battle. This is how I find a way to enjoy an unending job.

Music to Dust To.

A nice steady waltz
with duster round chair,
or a jaunty gavotte,
whisking cloth here and there.

Fly high with Denver
for cobwebs and such,
and polish the pictures
to The Seekers sure touch.

Elvis shakes skirtings
then rattles The Doors,
'till Englebert's velvet
gives momentary pause.

A final wipe down
with Willie's a must;
cruise corners with Como
for the last of the dust.

Now quickly enjoy
your tidy abode,
as wind, to Vivaldi,
blows more dirt from the road.
