Hamster Wheel

one thing missed then two fall down not a baby left to drown just simple things oft forgotten bananas left black and rotten bunnies made of hair and dust conspiracies of dirt and rust gather, gather piling high they just get worse as days go by spend a day with broom and mop working 'til you think you'll drop what is clean won't stay that way never even merely for a day webs of cob hang from the ceiling mocking me (you know the feeling) endless, endless is the filth defeating me and harming health inadequate is how I feel can't keep up on this endless wheel where has all my life-force gone? no more strength to sing this song dust and dirt has me defeated I guess I'll just... remain seated.
