A Poem: "Glitter Everywhere"

Glitter Everywhere
Too often glitter gets a bad rap.
Dramatic thinkers think it’s a death trap.
Glitter gets everywhere and stays for life.
It appears out of nowhere to cause you strife.

There’s glitter in your hair, and it won’t wash out.
You’ve got glitter in your teeth, and it makes you shout.
You noticed glitter when you blew your nose just now.
Even glitter in your socks has appeared somehow.

A glitter galaxy’s formed in your plush rug.
How did that glitter get in your coffee mug?
Someone poured glitter into your footwear?
You say you found glitter in your underwear?

Glitter’s no joke. It invades every space,
Every nook and cranny and your workspace.
Nowhere is safe, not even your car.
Glitter’s been spotted in the cookie jar.

You better watch out for those glitter-full cards.
When it comes to glitter, be always on your guard.
Look high, search low, and shake out your afghan.
I might’ve put glitter on your ceiling fan!
