You can't find socks
Like boats can't find docks.
You won't do chores
'Cause you think they're a bore.

One day you'll grow up
And you'll have no suo
Because you were lazy
On days that were hazy.

One day you'll have dishes,
But not any wishes.
One day you'll have
To milk your own calf.

One day you will have
A job to go to
One day you will have
Bills to pay, too.

My oldest can never find n e thing n his room because he refused to organize and clean it. He's a slob. I don't understand how he took after his father but father is OCD and he is a slob. I'm kinda both. OCD and slob. Organized chaos
