A flurry of rags.
Wipe and wash and scrub with glee –
the entire house.
Sweat pours from your brow.
Quick, the vacuum! It’s too late.
Your guests have arrived.
This series is intended to highlight the ridiculous antics of adulthood – a milestone we all wanted to reach as quickly as we could. Unfortunately, the reality of adulthood is not the endless cake and cookie feast we all believed it to be. It turns out, there are a lot of monthly bills and no one cooks you dinner!
These days adulthood isn’t so glamorous.

Hi Heather,
Great haiku! I have always wondered why we go crazy cleaning our houses before a party!! It really needs it afterwards!!
Thanks for the smile.
Love you!

So glad you liked it! Sometimes I contemplate skipping cleaning before people come over, but then I panic and start cleaning even more furiously.
