Messy

Outraged at what I saw
I covered my eyes and hardly peeked
I couldn’t believe the mess on the wall
And the way the kitchen sink had leaked

Damnnit Susie!
Damnnit Charles!
Go to your rooms,
And don’t you come back down to supper!

Removing my hand shakily
I began to clean what was in front of me
I started to get up angrily
How could my children do this to me!
