and came across an ominous, mysterious pack.

sometimes it seems I'll never get done
I spray and I scrub and I wipe and I buff
sometimes I dream I holler "ENOUGH"!
Why mop the stains, . . . more

He'll never stay
He'll walk out on you.

I tried to make a cake
It came out one side flat
So another one I tried to bake
This one scared the cat.

Pollution's spreading, it silently chokes

I slowly walked in and tried to be strong.
I grabbed the doorknob and gave a quick twist
The closet popped open and NOTHING missed!
