Efficiency in titivation should count for something:

Cleaning House

I’m glad I have a trailer,
That’s square in its aspect.
It makes the cleaning of the place,
So very much more direct!

When I’m through mopping on the floor,
I roll it on its side,
I clean the whole place in a flash!
Who needs a double-wide?

I catch the ceiling and the walls,
As quickly as the floor.
I clean the bedrooms and the halls,
The drain is my front door.

I’ve got my stuff all bolted down,
To keep it from migrating,
When social workers come to call,
I get the highest rating!
