Week 10 Theme 2

A short theme with no A's and no E's. Difficulty: that also means no articles of speech.

“Polish our floor.” Bob didn’t know why. Truly, Bob didn’t know how. But mom told Bob to do his work, so Bob took his tools, found his floor, and dug in. Two hours in, Bob put his mop down. If only mom could know how much work polishing wood floors took. If only Bob could look busy with his schoolwork, mom would stop with this stupid floor stuff. It didn’t look dusty. It didn’t look dull. It didn’t look sooty. It truly didn’t look worth mom’s worry, nor Bob’s monotonous hours, so why? Obviously, for odd jobs to do in Bob’s now copious time. Bob would go on his trip soon. Soon. But not now, so Bob took his polishing tool and did his work.
