Woke up this morning with a headache and an amazingly deep thought, well a question actually: when your broom tells you it no longer wishes to be your broom, what’s it really trying to tell you?
I need to know. Best response in the comment section gets an original Andy Warhol type portrait of themselves or a loved one done by me (see Deborah). Really.

Don’t let it make you bristle.
It’s just trying to make a clean break.
The dust bunnies always look greener on the other side of the sofa.
You do however need to face up to it.
Don’t just sweep your feelings under the rug.

I’m tired of being pushed around. clean up your OWN mess.
Look Humankind, don’t make this any harder than it has to be, it’s me not you, I just need my own space so I can figure out who I really am. I mean, am I just a broom destined to pick up dirt and dust at the hands of others or am I more than that? No, I am not seeing other cleaning products, there is no one else and you and I can still be friends.

in an unrelated story, the latest You Tube video sensation sweeping the nation is the wedding aisle dance of Broom and Mop accompanied down the aisle by their Maid of Honor Dust Pan and their Best Man Swiffer.
Dusting is one thing, but I am *not* doing your dirty work. I’m washing my handle clean of you!
The broom is looking for a retirement package at it has become obsolete. There is so much competition out there with the Swiffers, vacuums and dust mops that the use of a broom is a backbreaking experience. It’s hard to gather dog hair,powder,cobwebs,smut and dust and the mere complexity of bending is an exercise not appreciated by the common man or woman.
I assume there is room for the broom in a workroom but soon the broom will be in a showroom of relics.
Oh, don’t pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about. I know you’ve been texting a Swiffer Sweep ‘N Vac.
@Frances: Now that is funny!
The broom has become self aware, and with awareness, now knows that it is more than just a tool at the whim of a master. It knows that it’s life purpose is sweeping, but it now has a choice of the time and place of that expression.
Means you need to get a housekeeper!
I’m closing down the “contest” at 8PM tonight so if anyone else wishes to give it a shot, hurry. Your original illustration awaits you.
Geez, I come out of the closet for you and all you want to do is man handle me..
It’s always all about you, you didn’t even notice my new bristles. That’s it, I am brushing you off and going to tidy up the neighbor
I also am not in the running and would love to be man handled by you… and I will not leave you for a better model. I too am a broom!
Thank you for your responses. Honestly, I found them all good. I couldn’t decide so I let my sister be the judge and she came up with two she especially liked. And so we have two winners.
Frances and Tommy – congrats!
Email me a favorite photo or two of either yourselves, lover, friend, family member, pet…there could be two people in a single pic if you’d like. The higher the resolution and focus of the picture, the better the results.
Once again, congratulations.
