The Annual Spring Clean

It's happened again, dammit 
And try as I might
Spring cleaning's an urge
I just cannot fight

I need a remedy NOW 
For this kind of addiction 
As I'm down on my knees 
Scrubbing the kitchen 

It's a terrible affliction
An absolute blight 
I started at dawn 
Now it's late in the night 

The days been a blur 
A whirlwind of cleaning
A hysterical enthusiasm 
Untempered by reasoning

But when it's all done and dusted
And (temporarily) neat as a pin 
I'll be pleased I gave into the urge 
And sit down with a gin
