More poems about Good Things.

FOR MR CLEAN
I do not believe the ads I see but I will try them out,
In fact most at times I am full of uncertainty and doubt,
The commercial for Magic Eraser by good old Mr Clean
Was something on our TV that I had very often seen.

Now on my bathtub I have remnants of stuck on flowers
To stop you slipping, and I have scrubbed at them for hours,
Then I saw on the shelf a Magic Eraser box for me to try,
If it did not work just of a few dollars out not too bad says I.

Home I came with my prize, Mr Clean needs a pat on the back,
The ad is quite true for of strength to scrub it does not lack,
We bought this old house up north to retire in happy as can be,
Except for stains of aging that comes with an older territory.

Now I have Mr Clean’s Magic erasers and know they work well,
The home will soon sparkle and be an even better place to dwell,
Please accept this poem as a special thank you gift from me
And if you are in our neighbourhood please drop in and see.
