Cleaning Blues

So it's time to clean it up again

I put my things in boxes

Do you see how much is in that bin?

I've gone on a buying spree again.



So many things to pack

And there's so many more I want to sell

Oh, but there's no time at all!

Why couldn't I tell!



Material things and possessions

Apparently brought me a slight high

But only for that moment,

Now under the bed they lie.



So hey, buy and buy some more

Why not be like me?

And when it comes to packing up...

To the trash all the money will be!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Yeah... I need to pack and get rid of some of my stuff :(
