Spring Cleaning
Goodbye old friend it is time to go
Now that spring has melted the snow
The sunlight and rain brought freshness again
So it is time for spring cleaning to begin
It seems each year it is out with the old
Many things at a yard sale to be sold
Pots, pans, old clothes, shoes, and hats
Trinkets, tools, and a little of this and that
Someone will buy you and take you home
They will cherish you as their very own
Your time is only finished here and now
You’ll have a good life out there somehow
I don’t know what I’ll do now it’s true
I’m not sure I can live without you
Maybe with some fixing and a bit of a shine
I can make you last just a little more time
I think I will keep you just one more year
I would miss you too much, I see it so clear
This is the same thing I said last year
So we can’t tell my husband he can never hear
He’d never understand I’m not a pack rat
But let’s see him part with his cracked ball bat
So it looks like you’re safe right where you are at
But next year, well… I’ll think about that!
