Keep It Sweep It Throw It Away

Keep it, sweep it, throw it away. Box it up, go outside and play. Bag it, gag it, it is always in your way. Stop bringing home junk every single day. The money you spend, will be gone soon enough. Talk to yourself, and be really tough. The piles and bags and boxes of stuff Will be thrown away by your relatives soon enough And out will go the ruby bracelets and the diamond rings As they sort through the junk, finding all of your things. They will not know what to keep, and they will get tired and mean. So throw it out yourself now, you silly hoarder girl Queen.

Thank you Susannah. I am a frantic "I had better clean. Someone is coming this year" kind of a woman. I do not clean unless I am SURE they are, and when they do not show up I am flaming mad, as I DESPISE cleaning. I get into a frenzy about four times a year, throwing anything I hate at that minute on that day away which can be a lot of stuff.
