Bachelor Discovers Answer To House Work Poem by M Paul Burress

Once there was an old bachelor near here, who built two identical cabins up a little creek. He regularly switched living back and forth between them. He would live in one awhile and then he would move to the other one awhile. When folks asked him why he didn’t just settle down in one cabin, since both cabins were just alike, he replied, ”Well, you see, I can't stand a dirty house, but I hate house cleaning even more. So, I used my head and figured it all out, when the cabin I'm living in gets so dirty I can’t take it any more, I don’t have to clean it, I just move into the other one, and when that one gets dirtier than the one I left I just move back. For nigh on to fifty years now, that has always provided me with a little cleaner place to go when I need to”.
