How do I write a poem,
About a broomstick and a mop?
I don’t know,
โI’m about to find out!
For I also had the need,
For these two vital things,
And as the Daddy in the house,
It’s fallen unto me,
And as a hater of anything plasticky,
(Hey,
This was before it was cool,
To hate plastic and misogyny),
Erm,
I thought I’d find ones made of wood;
So, apparently,
There’s such a thing as a ‘standard handle’,
Much like how, in astronomy,
We have a ‘standard candle’;
Now the standard handle,
Can be used for all sorts of things:
Broomstick,
Shovel,
Mop,
Wardrobe rail,
Fighting stick,
Window pole,
Walking stick,
Curtain rail,
โAll kinds of things,
What a beast!
That’s the kind of solution I love,
โIt wins in all areas:
Durability,
Practicality,
Cost,
Modularity,
Aesthetics,
Repairability,
So I ordered a pack of handles,
A broom- and a mop-head,
I bought a packet of screws,
And a well-reviewed mop-bucket;
This was the story,
Of the broomstick and the mop…
See the comments below,
For some links to what I got ๐.

Our broom is wooden but not the mop. If I ever need to replace it, I’ll get one of these universal handles. Between this and the bamboo mugs, you have had some good finds recently! ๐
