MY MOTHER IS A CLEAN FREAK

Michele Lourie c 2016

 

My mother is a clean freak

And that is just a fact!

Telling you seems awful

But it’s time for me to act.

 

I always help with washing up

The dishes every night

But can someone tell me how

You get white dishes more than white

 

Our chairs are wrapped in plastic

They get very hot and sticky.

You can’t sit down with shorts on

Or your legs become quite icky.

 

The floors are mopped and polished

And the windows sparkle bright,

You’d think the stove was never used,

And in that you would be right!

 

I’ve put up with this for many years

With never one complaint

But I’ve had enough, I have to say

I’m certainly no saint.

 

Mum says “Put on clean socks each day,”

Well, it’s time for me to speak

For how can I get my shoes to fit

Over 7 pairs of socks each week?
