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!
