Peas in the laundry
Skates on the stairs
Car keys in the trash
(put there on a dare)
Raisins in the carpet
Cheerios in the john
Nail polish on the dog
Laundry dots the lawn
A child lives here it's clear to see
Or maybe two or four or three
And here's a jar with a bumblebee
Is that a bra up in the tree?
Peanut butter-spackled walls
Jelly-coated drapes
Toys scattered on the stairs
A fish tank full of grapes
Bubblegum stuck in the drain
Footprints made with tar
Tax returns in the circular file
House plants in the car
A child lives here, as you might guess
It's easy to tell from the godawful mess
And although at times I feel great stress
Most of he time, I feel well blessed.
