Ode to an expiring vacuum

she makes me wait before I can vac-

she seems to take too much time.

i’ll just go check the cheese and mac

while i think of another rhyme.

she coughs and gurguls and chortles

she cannot take much more

she is a fine piece of machinery

slowly dying on the kitchen floor.

i should have seen it coming

I should have seen the clues

my stream-lined silver vacuum

is singing like the blues.

i fear she will soon slumber

so i must go and get one new

a vacuum mate much cheaper

with more style and suction too…

oh poor old Kirby vacuum piece

your days are numbered now

like an old piece of rotting snow

before an oncoming plow…
