Mr Kleen

... could have done without the
extreme hoovering of
Mr Kleen on a Spring
cleaning binge: when he said
he wanted things dusted,

that's exactly what he
meant. None of this namby-
pamby-swipe-rag-around-
in-order-to-appease.
No - he picked things up, swept

aside dustbunnies and
cobwebs that had taken
residence, along with
papers, long forgotten.
Pots and dishes, items

to be thrown through windows;
he scrubbed floors and walls so
clear, you couldn't see them
any more - unless you
looked a mile away. He's

a demon when it comes
to wanting things neat - it's
just too bad Mr Kleen
forgot to put things back
where they belonged, before -
