Cleaning Solution

Sticky smears on the table top. on the couch spilled soda pop one chewed up shoe and one flip-flop I’m doomed to clean this mess non-stop Greasy dog bones gone astray found buried in the rug today the hamster made a getaway where he’s gone it’s hard to say. The shower drain is plugged, I swear the tub has grout and needs repair dirty laundry everywhere. it really is a mess out there. Under beds dust bunnies show all closets are on overflow the fridge is packed with things that grow dishes clog the sink, I know. Spaghetti sauce dumped on the floor 12 eggs broke, need I say more fingerprints on every door this place, a never-ending chore Just when I think things can’t get worse the leaking fish tank cracked and burst 40 gallons was dispersed I think this house is cursed. In every corner, ledge and groove dirt and grim must be removed there’s one solution I approve pack your things, we’re going to move! Liz Relly – 3/06/2012 “Cobwebs and Dust” Contest (new start)
