A Mess...

I cannot complain, at least I am inside and sort of out of the weather...


Poem Artwork


 


I live in a mess,


I eat in a mess,


I sleep in a mess,


I even bathe in a mess…


 


Not enough room to live,


Let alone to myself to give,


I want more room,


Then maybe I can find my broom…


 


Cleaning a chore,


Rather go to the shore,


I even hate to vacuum the floor,


I certainly do hate to clean, right down to my very core…

No matter how much "room" we have, it doesn't seem enough.

Nice rig you have, which looks more than a fair size. Maybe you need more storage boxes :o)

"I certainly do hate to clean, right down to my very core…"
I sure don't know anyone - including myself - who would put this chore on the top of their "Delighful" list!

Sounds like a healthy mess, but what was it that McCartney sang? 'Oh, sweet darling, what a mess I'm in.' Find that sympathetic woman who will take you by the scruff of the neck and turn you into America's own Beau Brummell.
