Broom Boom

Broom sales are the highest they’ve been in years

The industry confesses

As everybody everywhere

Cleans up this winters messes.

Business is brisk the makers say

With gleeful animation,

And folks who haven’t should buy a broom

As brooms are sweeping the nation.

Sahara San Dance

Bedouin bosses dance together

If they find an oasis or creek.

They dance in the desert dust at night,

Sort of sheik to sheik.
