Spring Cleaning in the Fall
No Matter What the Calendar Says, it is Time!
When the drawers can't be closed
And the closets overflow,
When we've kept too many things
Leaving no space for us to grow;
When the clutter we have saved
Won't melt away like fallen snow -
Spring cleaning time has come.
Though the Spring is months away
Says the calendar on the wall,
The clutter clustered all around
Could make us trip and fall;
The living room is looking like
The warehouse for a mall -
Spring cleaning time has come.
It's been put off for a while
In the hopes that someone else would do it,
But it was not really surprising because
I guess I always knew it;
That the place would not clean up itself
Though when it comes to cleaning, I eschew it -
But the time for Spring cleaning has come.

super true
I see lots to clean, but not sure it will happen now--it will always be there!
Excellent observations! Thanks!
Looking forward to several months of tossing, donating, painting, and deep-cleaning. Will hopefully be finished by spring:)
I tend to have such cleaning fits periodically and I always end up throwing away something I end up needing a couple of weeks later. On the plus side, I always end up finding some things I had either thought were lost or that I had forgotten about altogether.
'Tis true, the time to clean knows no particular season! cheers
:-))
Never seems to end for me! :) I'm a packrat!
Yes, it is time for spring cleaning. That is what I doing now. Great write.
