Feathering Your Nest

My feather duster shed a plume,

From overuse, you might assume,

But you’d be wrong; my living room

Is good at hiding dust.

 

Yet that stray feather made me muse

On how the furnishings we choose

Provide our visitors with clues

About us they can trust.

 

Our décor, modern or antique

And ostentatious, plain or sleek,

Allows much more than just a peek

At what’s below the crust.

 

Though birds may decorate their nest

With shiny objects they’ve finessed,

Like us, they hope they have impressed

By how they’ve fluffed and fussed.
