Spring cleaning

Spring cleaning is looked forward to by one and all

Especially the kids who are eager, though small

They look forward to grabbing things with ease

And behave like pups escaped from their leash..

Store-rooms are invaded, old trunks are attacked

And all old drawers are fully ransacked

Long forgotten memos and curios are found again

As also other things like umbrellas and canes

Exclamations of joy prevail through the house

On finding a long-lost treasure that was hiding like a mouse

Whether the occupants of the house are jovial or serious

And even if they find Spring-cleaning tedious

Its something that should always be done

For finding misplaced things can also be fun.

Then what about removing the cobwebs from the mind

That tends to make us selfish and blind

Negativity should also be swept away

Or, for the consequences, you will pay

So clean up your home, your heart and your mind

And you will much satisfaction in life, do find.
