World of the Ocd

People enjoyed laughing at Adrian Monk
  And his obsessive/compulsive disorder
Now I'll open the lid, come out of the trunk
  I'll be a neat freak for my life's remainder

Like Mr. Monk, I can't tolerate a mess
  Just one speck of dust and I must act quickly
With perpetual cleaning I am obsessed
  I've a terrible fear of growing sickly

Neighbors call me the original "white glove"
  But behind my back, I think they're mocking me
I'm paranoid too, not a trait I'm proud of
  So welcome to my world of the OCD

oh, Diane, we could move into together and be FElix and that other guy, the Odd Couple.hahaha. I am the messy girl who couldn't care less about a little dirt; however,I am a bit OCD when it comes to my obsession here at Soup!! (and everything else I love doing, I can't make myself stop!!!) My son is the same way. He has to count to 100 sometimes before he does certain things!!

Many congratulations on your contest wins - I've just noticed more results : ) Jack. I'm obsessive about checking hotel beds for bedbugs after a nasty experience in a hotel once.

I don't in any way fit this white glove syndrome Diane. I'm a bit untidy. Smile. Good luck in the contest. Thanks for your comments. Yes there are things in life a lot more important than worrying about money. Agape, Moses

Always got a kick out of Detective Monk, Diane. He could have been a member of my family. LOL White glove syndrome is a genetic trait, as you well know. Love, Carolyn
