messmaking

If I lived on Jupiter,

Or even upon Mars,

Somewhere far from here,

and out among the stars,

Would my problem still exsts?

Would it follow wherever I go?

Or is my issue gravity bound,

Namely, STUFF upon the floor.

I understand, it is tough

This putting things away.

Things have a tendency to fall

Then on the ground they stay.

It’s not that I don’t love my kids

They’re my sun and moon and stars.

But if I trip over one more thing . . .

I’m moving straight to Mars.
