I Won'T Clean Up My Room!

I won’t clean up my room No matter how you try To bribe me with all sorts of things I know it’s just a lie Don’t think that I will pick up That sock that’s on the floor If you don’t want to see it I’ll simply close the door You’re bossy and demanding You act like such a mum You act like you’re the adult Well I say you’re not much fun Don’t think I’ll do my washing How can you think I could? I don’t know where to start with that I don’t see why I should My clothes don’t need to be folded Just put them on the floor I’ll find them in the room somewhere Don’t put them in the drawer You tell me that I am spoiled Well you made me that way I’ve had a lot of practice Being who I am today And when you say I’m childish What do you expect of me How can you expect me to be grown up When I am only 33! -Nadine Hof, 1 March 2007-
