Quirk Free Campus
Quirk Free Campus
The little things that pester most, do not bother me.
When it comes to bothersome, my campus is quirk free.
BUT let me find one dirty mass inside my neat nice home,
a tumor that has formed itself and bred itself alone.
Then I’ll chip, scour, and root it out an evil to be purged
never giving into rest until I’ve soothed the urge.
The little things that bother most, do not bother me.
When it comes to bothersome, my campus is quirk free.
BUT let a coat be on a chair instead of hung away.
Some unknowing person may just regret the day.
Don’t let me find a thing that’s old and not going to last.
You’ll see it soon disposed of, completely and quite fast.
I like to see a shining floor, handles polished on a door.
If it’s been cleaned, clean it some more.
Bathrooms scrubbed with lots of bleach
destroying crud that’s hard to reach.
Tables and counters should be clear
with plug-ins to scent the atmosphere.
Can't tolerate a trace of dust
or stand a pinch of time’s orange rust.
The little things that pester most, do not bother me.
When it comes to bothersome, my campus is quirk free.
