Hard Hearted Hannah and the Clutter Bug

A friend of mine best left behind could not resist clutter She’d cluck her tongue and pile up some with each and every mutter! I’d come for tea and heaven’s me the kitchen table bore Piles of papers, clips and pens and envelopes galore! Just lookie here, I’d say to her “Where shall I put my cup?” She’d move a pile of laundry and then she’d laugh “What’s up?” Tiring soon, I took pan and broom, and box and bag and tidied Well she was livid and truly pissed at all the tidied.... I’d did! You keep your junk I roared at her but don’t call me to that table Maybe next year I’ll return that is unless you’re unable? Please dear friend it’s best you see to finish what you start! Clean this HOUSE, fold those clothes I’m done with this heart to heart!

Ouch! Sounds like you'd been kept on your toes, but who can dance ballet when you'll trip over stuff! Some people just don't seem to set their priorities straight, Debs. However surely someone who'd loved to have you drop in, though might have felt uncomfortable in her own little cluttered world. A fun write, Debs!! Love, Mikki
