House Cleaning

Grab a dustpan, grab a mop,

No time to watch cartoons!

It’s time to clean the house again—

We’re living like raccoons!

The kitchen table’s messier

Than I have ever seen.

There’s half a burger under it

That’s gone a little green.

There used to be a floor, I’m sure,

Beneath this pile of mud.

And I recall, there was a wall

Behind that stack of crud.

The shower’s full of mildew

And the pipe’s begun to rust.

The toilet’s like whole-wheat bread,

’Cause it’s got a two-inch crust!

The carpet color’s covered up

With tracks from dirty paws.

The bedroom’s like a bear’s den,

The garage is a lost cause.

Our friends are coming over,

And we’ve got so much to prove!

We’ll never get it clean it time—

I guess we’ll have to move!
