Premium MemberPondering a Hoarders Ways

why do hoarders keep their garbage?
Their empty containers? Dirty diapers? Used dog pads?
If you hate cleaning like I do, turn on the TV show, Hoarders.
It is the best cure to my housework apathy.

There are small paths in the houses they feature
Hoarders don’t sleep in beds
Beds are covered with stuff
Hoarders live on piles of debris

Their bathrooms

Premium MemberHoarders

People say oldies are hoarders
They collect miscellaneous Throughout the years 
Knowledge,experience and utensils 
The whole family contributes to the collections
They are memorable
They are precious
Electrical appliances,dresses and shoes
Souvenirs,books and certificates
Piled up the space
They seem to be very rich 
With a small gallery
We also fall into this category
But recently we send away all the litters
To the recycling

We watch it in

That others need household goods too?
Does she leave anything on the shelf?

Does greed agree that she is totally one-sided?
Concerned only for self, completely selfish?
Is her heart hard?

Premium MemberDeath Taxes and Hoarders

Death and taxes 
End of times
Life as we know it
Different today thanks to the Corona Virus

New growth all around me
I work in a grade school
Where mamas waddle in baking babies
Wombs full of new life in our young teachers too

We were all living each moment 
But suddenly the comfortable world as we knew it
Has stopped, and

Premium MemberPack Rat People

I am in my beautifully decorated office where I have dragged overflow 
A baby gift that should have been given over to the new mama long ago,
Reams of paper that are not going to walk themselves to the printer.
Notebooks and pencils that could be put on a shelf for the winter.
It is weird that my
