Domestic Disaster

Some think I’m crazy Plumb out of my head For listing these reasons I’m not leaving bed My pillow’s real soft My blanket’s nice too There are dishes in the sink And dusting to do The bills need paid And there are lessons to finish These cobwebs in doorframes Will never diminish The TV is filled with nothing but gloom The bathroom needs tidying The floors need vacuumed The dog needs a bath There’s laundry to fold The leftovers from last week Are starting to mold The hedges need trimmed The weeds are growing The garden needs tended The yard needs mowing My house is a mess The roof sprung a leak I’m up to my ears For the next couple weeks If only I had The courage I said I’d throw back the covers And the cat would be fed
