Mop It Up

by June Nash

.

Take a rag and mop it up

Act as though you spilt your cup

Mishaps occur all the time

Being human’s not a crime

.

Take a rag and mop it up

Then pour some more in your cup

Focus on the good you see

Forgive your faults, set self free

I was talking to my daughter on the phone when she said “Take a rag and mop it up”.  I thought she was talking to me, figuring it was some new saying.  It wasn’t.  She was talking to my granddaughter who spilt some water on the floor.  

This poem is taken from that line.  Take a rag and mop it up.
