Take Over the Daytime

Carpet Diem







The Roman poet Horace was onto a thing when he expertly scripted in his Odes, 'carpe diem ' "suggests 'seize the day ' in Latin.



It is a mantra to live life by "to snatch the bull by the horns and take control of your own destiny.



But I believe old Horace may have been just one characteroff.



You see, I believe what he wanted to script was 'carpet diem ' but the rug on where he was relaxing and communicating his classical work was a tad too dirty and dirty and he simply got interrupted. From sheer inflammation and harsh pain we wrote 'carpe ', without doubt moved to someother rug or some other cushiony surface and absolutely forgot the whole the word 'carpet'.



And so for centuries, people have been trying in vain to seize a Monday or Friday when in reality they were meant to (at least in Horace's mind) commandeer a hall runner, throw rug or the humble Welcome Mat.



So I suggest from her on in, that all carpet cleaners, producersand indeed lovers, take the quote 'carpet diem ' as an guide to a sector of think woven fabric floor coverings, shag piles and the rubber underlay.



I know longer need to hear the question , 'does the carpet match the curtains? ' "I need the carpet running all of the whole way up the wall and across the sealing. That's correct, you heard it here first. I want that oft bandied about real estate phrase 'fully carpeted ' to really mean the wall to wall and floor-to-ceiling carpets.



And in gratitudeof Horace and his omitted 'T ', I will suggest that all carpet cleaners will get their own public special day just like those lazy bank workers.



I want a yearly Carpet Day partying for the best domesticated invention and prior to chopped bread. A day where bare feet get to enjoy the sense on clean woolen carpet and Pro Hart gets to make many sloppy artwork before it goes away by the hands of a good old school carpet cleaner.
