Clean Your Room!
My mom said, "Clean your room today,"
"Or you won't be able to go out and play."
So I thought for a moment and scratched my head,
I think I'll start underneath the bed.
I lifted my covers and took a peek,
and found a cookie I lost last week.
Then I took a closer look,
and found my long lost library book.
There was a dirty sock and an old stray shoe,
I'd been searching for a month or two.
But it's too late now those shoes don't fit,
this room is so messy I wish I could quit.
I'd sneak out the window and climb down the tree,
and my friends would all be waiting for me.
But here I sit on the edge of my bed,
cause mom's got eyes in the back of her head.
Oh what the heck it's now or never,
I better get going or I'm stuck here forever!

This one's a candidate for a children's book, very realistic!
