Because Hope asked for more, and with apologies to Dr. Seuss, an adaptation of "Marvin K. Mooney, Will You Please Go Now" :
The time has come.
The time has come. The time is now. Just go. Go. GO! Doesn't matter how.
You can go by bin, Tossed in there any how. Nasty Clutter Monster, will you please go now!
Take the old skates. Bring along the skis. Wear the old hat. But please go. Please!
I don't care. You can take the bike. On the way out grab the trike wheels if you like.
If you like you can go with every old shoe. Just go, go, GO! Please do, do DO!
Nasty Clutter Monster, I don't care how, Nasty Clutter Monster, will you please Go NOW!
Take the old papers. Take the singing stuffed fish. You can take them out in boxes if you wish.
If you wish you may take junk I bought on sale. Old cards I never found time to mail.
Nasty Clutter Monster! Don't you know the time has come to go, Go, GO!
Get on your way! Just do not stay! Take all this stuff with you today!
Leave not old balloons, broken broom sticks, or the nasty bureau with the stuck shut drawer.
Pack old toys and better yet, take the matching tchotchke set, I don't care what you take. Just GET!
Get yourself out of this room. Blow yourself up in a kaboom. Clutter, Clutter, Clutter! Don't make my house a tomb!
Nasty Clutter Monster! I don't care HOW. Recycled, trashed, compost, donated, please GO NOW!
I said GO and GO I meant. The time had come. SO Clutter WENT.

Here I sit again broken hearted intended to clean and never started! I looked around and only found that another day has passed away And where was I? Why I was right here sitting as usual in my worn computer chair!
Ah, but is that a smile on my face? YES!!! you see I've found a place to go and read and feel accepted my mess won't cause me to be rejected I'll chat! I'll clean! I'll sort! I'll Toss!
I've found a new home, tomorrow won't be another loss I'll start anew I'll work real hard, I really will! I'll be a succes, I feel it in my bones Stepping out of squalor and into my new home!

Do you like my hat? I do not. It's sitting on a pile that goes on for a mile. Do you like my hat? I do not. It's dusty and musty and out of style it sits on a pile that goes on for a mile. Do you like my hat? I do not. Its torn and worn and out of style. Do you like my hat? No? I don't like it at all. That's why it's in the trash can against the wall! ~ 3g

it took me a while to learn that to be too busy may cause one to burn but now I am fine I will take it easy and stay in my own line and if I should fall I know all I need to do is come here and call.

Mystery liquid and broccoli rabe In the sort of condition could make you sob Ancient sushi and mushy peach Precariously stacked and hard to reach
This refrigerator is upsetting and foul My stop gap solution -- a now-ruined towel I left inside the vegetable bin With hope it would sop up all within.
Ugh ugh and double ick Maintaining order is a mystery trick. In the bathroom -- it's covered -- and making the bed -- But for Refrigerator Order I have no head.
All I can say is I did One Thing I cleaned it out and made it bling Using bleach -- and lots of hauling -- Down the chute, no more of my stalling.
Now inside it's semi-normal. Even -- dare I say it? -- formal. If only I don't do it again 'Cause normal inside is my true yen.

ps
excellent!! seeking peace.
and excellent! 3g.
excellent! getting somewhere. and excellent!! creative chaos.
you guys sound so seussian, I'm sure he's kvelling to find out what good he has done for our dwelling(s). he wasn't a doctor, and I'm not a bare minim where there're spaces I find stuff to put in 'em.
but all of this rhyming just gives me a giggle. perhaps the reminder of times I was little?
taxes and lawyers and courts didn't happen except on tv shows, not Court in Manhattan.
I'm really encouraged to see your mad musings. It helps me to relax, not cramp from confusings.
May all of you poets continue to take a moment or two on this thread -- to create!!

wow, sidey, what a memory. I had more or less forgotten all this.
Lot more fun than the interminable lists I do now...
