Now Or Never

Complete disorder and disarray The darkened room will always stay The boys just get up then go play And never do their chores The clothes, they’re piled just so high It really is a big pig sty But, they somehow still get by Though, I cannot see their floor When will they learn or ever care That I’ve already done my share They need to know they’ll go nowhere If it never then gets clean But, yet as parents we give in My wife and I, we never win It really is just such a sin Because we never stay that mean I tell them to close their blinds real tight For fear the neighbors would peek at night When they are in and turn on the lights Embarrassed by the room But one’s fourteen, the other eight They have to learn, it cannot wait Tomorrow then, now that’s the date It’s clean or meet their doom
