Because one set of haiku simply doesn’t do justice to the speed with which she comes running when she hears me swear…
Vacuum cleaner dog
as long as you’re in the house
food spills clean themselves.

No mops needed here.
Your tongue outscrubs, out-Swiffers,
any man-made tool,

hoovering all crumbs,
leaving behind no clear sign
no tattle-tale ort.

How much must one scour
who lacks the helpful worker
of dog in kitchen?
