After doing without a domestic help for two weeks, I need a mummy in rags as well. There sure is a lot of dust around here and I do like the smell of Pledge. I wonder if I can get her to use it the next time. I will have to look into it. Of course, nothing is really natural wood here. I think that is a prerequisite, isn't it?
Nope, no zombies need apply. All those body parts dropping every where would only make for more chores. And werewolves, well the cats already shed enough. I'll take a mummy too!
Happy Halloween!

A Halloween challenge for every one to try. Turn those screams to laughter and the scary things will hide.

Mummy
I think I need a mummy
To help with house hold chores
They are wrapped in rags
So they can dust and more.
Need to wash a floor?
Wet a mummy well
Drag it through the rooms
Better than a mop I hear tell
Don't need a zombie
They make too big a mess
Where the next body part falls
Is anyone's guess
Vampires have a drinking problem
Werewolves always shed
Ghosts go through everything
And the Horseman has no head.
So give me a mummy
With rags of clean white
I'll hand it Pledge
With orders to work all night.

Very clever! Yes, a mummy would do best for dusting and polishing. Easy to toss into the washer when finished.

Now where can I get a mummy? I never thought how useful they might be until I read your cute and fun Halloween read. =)

Gail,
I think you've sold all of us on Mummies!!! In fact, I could use one about now. I'm mopping the floor.
