Messy room by Shel Silverstein
Whosever room this is should be ashamed!
His underwear is hanging on the lamp.
His raincoat is there in the overstuffed chair,
And the chair is becoming quite mucky and damp.
His workbook is wedged in the window,
His sweater's been thrown on the floor.
His scarf and one ski are beneath the TV,
And his pants have been carelessly hung on the door.
His books are all jammed in the closet,
His vest has been left in the hall.
A lizard named Ed is asleep in his bed,
And his smelly old sock has been stuck to the wall.
Whosever room this is should be ashamed!
Donald or Robert or Willie or--
Huh? You say it's mine? Oh, dear,
I knew it looked familiar!
lol!
ReplyDeleteit's a creative space and certainly not a mess!
i know, i should've thrown in bits of my laundry into that picture! and a shoe maybe.
Deletehe he he nice one :) For a control freak like me, I wish I could drop by and clear up the mess :P
ReplyDeletei'm a bit of an order freak myself, kankana - and more every year i grow older! but i could always use a hand! ;)
DeleteIt reminds me of my dining table, where, as I write this comment and make a sweeping gaze at the clutter thats piling up. I love it!
ReplyDeleteyeah! go, creative clutter! it's all good, anita :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous creative space, and not a mess in sight! You should see the state of my house on a daily basis!! PS. I saw you have been nominated in the Photography category at http://www.the-mads.com/ congrats! :)
ReplyDeletereally? emma, you give me the nicest news! going over to the link now :)
Deletei read these poems to my sister when she was younger and i'll never forget the eager smile she had anticipating the lines she knew by heart... such a good memory. I's so glad you reminded me of those days...
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely memory to remind you off. i'm glad i did, mina :)
DeleteMade me smile that you have your own creative space. It's not messy - - - rather a work in progress. We love Shel Silverstein around here, too. How time flies; my little one who used to recite "one inch tall" can relate to this poem already (just like mommy).
ReplyDeleteah, another shel lover! he's a good one to grow up with, isn't he. i can imagine how cute that recitation of 'one inch tall' sounds :)
ReplyDeleteThis messy room is not really messy Pia :) For that u need to visit us on weekday and I will show u the messy room with one tiny messy person messing around :D
ReplyDeleteAnd that is my fav poem... A big nostalgia stamp is attached to it !
