Why was the broom always tired?

It was constantly sweeping.

Did You Know?

"Sweeping" sounds like "sleeping" — so the broom is tired because it's always sweeping (sleeping)! Brooms have been around for over 4,000 years, with the first versions made from bundled twigs. The modern flat broom wasn't invented until 1797 by Levi Dickinson in Massachusetts, who had the brilliant idea to flatten the bristles for better floor coverage.
