The Broom

The broom is pretty ancient,

You could say it is a relic –

Yet it keeps on hanging on,

Just like that old Tom Selleck.

My mother had a couple

And her mother long before

And I think they have discovered

'em upon the ocean floor.

You'd think the vacuum cleaner

Would have made 'em obsolete

But still they come in handy

With the march of dirty feet.

Taken so for granted,

They are never waranteed.

Collecting them as hobby

Would all foolishness exceed.

A poem about the broom

Had better be a bit symbolic,

Otherwise it's wasting time

As just an idle frolic.



See all the ways you can stay connected to friends and family
