I am scared of my hoover

By jfarrell

I am scared of my hoover.

I bought it about nine months ago,

A “vax” power nano,

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh

Sounded so coooooooooool.

Silver grey handle and base.

Transparent bagless chamber,

With a red hat to empty it.

And a bunch of tubes.

I’ve used it twice.

The second time I used it

I think I broke it

And I am scared to confirm that fear.

If the hoover I spent £120 on nine months ago

Is broken

It means I have six months worth of cat hair

To sweep up with a dustpan and brush.

And that ain’t gonna be fun :(
