JWG's Grand Hodgepodge —Cleanliness (a poem)

113. Cleanliness

Cleanliness
Is everything we do, touch, and say.
Also, what we think.

True, one Person’s filth
Is not considered dirty by others.
Clean can be a way of Life.

Animals are taught to groom.
Many do not mind living in squalor.
Some just go off and find a new house.

People tend to stay put and make do
With what they have as they wish for something
Better which usually involves money.

Money doesn’t always help
Attitudes that are hewn by example.
This applies to all the followers.

A group created
By any Animal has some strong bonds.
Clean living’s no exception.

Neighborhoods
Are judged by their appearance quite quickly
By those who pass through.
