Poem
A simple man, I don‘t need much, I use few words; I’m Joe. I once framed houses, now drive trucks. That’s all you need to know. I love my wife and think she’s great, but one thing I can’t stand She’s got so many things that it is getting out of hand. Last month I hauled out all her * #^%$ and tossed it on the floor of our garage because I could not take it any more. When she came home and saw the mess, I told her: Listen up, Your clothes take up three closets cause you’re such a cluster * %$#$# I don’t care if the kids are gone. You don’t need their old space to keep old clothes that do not fit and shoes such a disgrace. The kitchen drawers are stuffed with junk that you don’t even use. You have to clear the cupboards out before I blow a fuse! I’ve taken all your Christmas crap and boxed it up for you. It’s now in the garage there with your filing cabinet too. These books and all the videos you never even play - We’ll buy more bookshelves for them but throw a lot away! You’re right. I never help to clean. but I feel too depressed to wash clothes in the laundry room when I see all the mess. . . the gifts stockpiled for grandkids; and that junk for holidays . . . It’s got to be made orderly. Who needs it anyways? I’m trying to be nice here. It doesn’t have to be done all at once, but all this stuff. . .I feel like I can’t breathe. I’m cleaning up my work spaces and then when I am through, I’m going to redo the porch and uproot bushes too. That sink we needed to replace I’m finally putting in. I’m getting a new ceiling fan and also storage bins. You poets here, this poem I post to keep you in the loop. My wife can’t be here much this month at this here Poetry Soup. I know she’ll come here anyway and say that I’m a louse, but I won’t rest until we both have finished cleaning house! * These are the expletives I had to take out before posting because wifey said they don’t accept swearing here. What a sissy site For Nathan Dilt's contest: The Opposite Sex and now for Destroyer~Poet's In the Mood * any poem goes Poetry Contest
