It's time!
Time for some Spring Cleaning!
Back in long ago days before the way it is now,
We picked a long, warm, sunshiny day and
Got up EARLY in the morning, in fact even before
daylight we were already in the kitchen eating
Biscuits, sausages, eggs, and homemade JAM, then by
the time the sun was halfway up the morning sky,
We would have emptied out the whole house...
Nothing left therein, NO. NOt even a mouse!

Water we hauled, in buckets and tubs
Sand we used, and our cornshuck scrubs,
We cleaned that house from one end to the other
And everybody worked! Even the laziest brother!

Hhahahahahahahahah Oh what FUN!

All our beds and all our quilts,
pillows, sheets, and clothes
Anything and everything nothing left inside
Out in the open it goes!
To be washed and aired the whole day long,
Outside in the sun, and the wind
We beat the beddings with utmost glee,
Then at sundown we brought them back in.

Ah.... SPRING!!! Hhahahahaaa. Oh! What Fun!!!

Spring Cleaning's DONE!!! Oh how sweet it is!!! Everything clean as a
whistle, birds singing, pears, plums, and berries blooming, little green
leaves popping out all over the place, songs bursting forth from the
very earth itself.

Now.
Let's all take off our shoes
And go wade in the creek.
