oiling the squeaks

i spend an hour or so with a can
of w d 40, oil in a small
blue can with a red spout.
there's a lot of things squeaking
in the house.
i start with doors, both front
and back.
then go to the chain on my
bicycle
in the shed.
the kitchen cupboards,
the drawers, the fridge door,
both top and bottom,
the attic swing down door
and stairs. i even
give the creaking floorboard
a squirt.
also the steps, a few windows,
then the couch, the springs
are jumpy,
then to the bedroom on all
four corners of the queen
sized bed.
i scratch my head, what else?
