Sweeper

Tom, you're the duster this week. Mary, you're the sweeper. I'm the dishwasher.

Where did you put the sweeper?

This sweeper is awfully loud.

The street sweeper cleaned the road every morning.

Tom is a street sweeper.

If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven played music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, "here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well."

..tree will be hanging over the water about canoe level (a sweeper)..

So named because they can sweep passengers from a boat, they can also capsize a canoe, especially when paddlers lean too far away from the sweeper..
