Spring Clean

How long since I tidied here?

I guess it’s been awhile.

I’ll take it one bit at a time

And start here with this pile.

When did I collect these shells?

Or that stick? Or those rocks?

It must have been at least a year

Since I last saw those socks.

Something’s growing under here!

And wait… Is that thing moving?

I’ve been here for an hour

And this mess is not improving.

What could smell so awful?

And why is that thing green?

Life’s mysteries unravel

When it’s time for a Spring Clean.
