A Chimney Sweep Swept

Black Coat, long cut, with a red flower in the lapel. Top hat rounded, and in good shape.
He hung it on the vacuum tank while he worked.
Come in.
Where is the fire place?
Move things around so there is room.
Lay out the cloth.
Bring in the drum-like vacuum pump,
Rods and brushes.
Move things out of the fireplace
Sweep, lights.
Point out problems with fireplace.
Clean up gear.
Take out gear
Sweep hearth with a hand broom.
Everything is done methodically.
Ford pickup with cover on back, ladders on top,
though he did not use them.
