Oh no, whatever can I do?
My mom is coming to visit,
my house looks like a zoo!
(What's new!)

I can't let her see the place like it is,
or she will then get an inkling
That we live like this all the time (we do)
the clock it is a ticking!

Hurry, hurry, mop the kitchen
do the hallway, too
Get the spotcleaner to the carpet
and don't forget the LOO!

How did this place get to be such a mess?
I must say I can only guess
But when you have children, a job and a life,
there's no time to clean, I confess.

Children, hurry, she'll be here soon,
we mustn't let her know
Clean the litterbox, wash the linens,
scrub the table, don't you know?

Her house is always clean for me,
I can't be her, though, can't you see?
Thank God she only comes once a year
There, all done, time for a beer!

(Wish me luck, i must persevere,
to have a clean house, at least once a year!)




 God bless you all. :-)

LOL...Excellent. How many of us have been there?

I think you've captured us all who've been there   sometimes, mine gets that way from just being in the Pub too long   and, when I turn around I wonder where did the time go.
