Messy Room

Whosever room this is should be ashamed!
His underwear is hanging on the lamp.
His raincoat is there in the overstuffed chair,
And the chair is becoming quite mucky and damp.
His workbook is wedged in the window,
His sweater's been thrown on the floor.
His scarf and one ski are beneath the TV,
And his pants have been carelessly hung on the door.
His books are all jammed in the closet,
His vest has been left in the hall.
A lizard named Ed is asleep in his bed,
And his smelly old sock has been stuck to the wall.
Whosever room this is should be ashamed!
Donald or Robert or Willie or—
Huh? You say it's mine? Oh, dear,
I knew it looked familiar!

    Its so easy to find fault blame and criticise. But so often I am the worst offender more than any one else of the same faults that I've been critical about in others

    trying to get at total without lateral yet

    "Messy Room" is making a broken record find it's turntable and turned tables. It's when the civility of keeping sure how we don't have to see ugly can then then be shown exhausting when we get back at our own house where we might know "A lizard named Ed is asleep in his bed" and facts now need effort with rapidity. The reaped perspective.

    It's just space until specifics, and without a visit maybe habit takes the shortcut description that's humorous until humdrum when the style. Yet, "His raincoat is there in the overstuffed chair," may be reinterpeting another slouch than just by furniture we would take, since we might not find the cushion after everything's done pondering about a parent but pad the place with that attitude. Of course however, the theoretical attacks may stem from "His books are all jammed in the closet" among the scene where sitting down is with crossed legs in many resorted ways, it seems.

    My son would recognise this except his lizard was a Blue-tongued Lizard christened 'Nelson' as he only had one eye.
    Eww - that sock - it gets everywhere.
    Very realistic this one for anyone with sons!

    hehehe and I thought they were writing about my children's room. How on earth could anyone know it was their own room under all that mess anyway, hmmm maybe by the sock that might be giving out an oft smell familiar odour maybe.
