"To Be or Not To Be" Parody
"To Clean or Not to Clean"
To clean or not to clean that is the question,
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer,
The stink and disarray of un-cleanéd house,
Or to take arms against the pong[1] of turmoil,
And by opposing sanitize them. To primp, to groom -
No more- and by primp we mean end,
The puissant stench and thousand tiny clutters,
That a home is heir to- 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To primp, to groom-
To groom, perchance to make things sparkling. Aye there's the rub,
For in that launder what pains may result, pruning skin and aching back,
Must give us pause. There's the respect ,
That makes calamity of such a soiled house.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of the cleaning process,
The dirty laundry, the vacuuming,
