Doogie Cooks Not Cleans

Terry did not mind doing dishes until Doogie moved in
He liked to cook and made messes that were up to her chin
I never clean a pot or pan he said, bragging about it.
After a while she stopped doing dishes and pitched a big fit.

But he cooks! Her roommate Melanie said, and that’s great right?
Terry rolled her eyes, and planned to move out; she did not like to fight.
Within a week she was gone, she left the two bozos a little note.
He snored horribly too, she told her mother “like an overgrown goat!”
