Scepter

Your rights end here, I hold the broom
Solitary scepter, Symbol of power
Wielded by scrawny, exhausted arms

Whether ridden, or simply hand held
Indispensable tool of all women
Weapon against foes large and small

From dust bunnies, to stray alley cats
Burglars to wandering spiders
One method firmly dispatching all

Maginot Line of household defense
Humble instrument of domestic power
In loving weary, protective hands
Broom
