Peas in the laundry Skates on the stairs Car keys in the trash (put there on a dare) Raisins in the carpet Cheerios in the john Nail polish on the dog Laundry dots the lawn A child lives here it's clear to see Or maybe two or four or three And here's a jar with a bumblebee Is that a bra up in the tree? Peanut butter-spackled walls Jelly-coated drapes Toys scattered on the stairs A fish tank full of grapes Bubblegum stuck in the drain Footprints made with tar Tax returns in the circular file House plants in the car A child lives here, as you might guess It's easy to tell from the godawful mess And although at times I feel great stress Most of he time, I feel well blessed.
