Queens Surround Messy King

The piles of pills and magazines Amid Kleenex boxes and paraffin’s. Bring a crazy look to the house of the queens. Queen of clutter retaining her piles Queen of hoarding tries on different smiles Queen of procrastination putting on miles. Let’s clean this place up suggests the king. He is truly the worst messer most have seen. But hey none of them really like to clean. So they got out books with maids inside. Could they live with a stranger to abide? None thought they could so they continued to hide. Under bushel baskets of junk galore. Slender paths unseen when you came in the door. They lived in their squalor fifty years or more. Messy queen of clutter was the first to go. She left after Queen of Hoarding called her a ‘ho’. Queen of procrastination out the door next. King standing alone in clutter, truly perplexed.

I was thinking what if we added a queen or two to our messy household and they were as slovenly as the king and I? What would happen?
