Petrified paint and some not-so-cool coolers
A pile of leaves like some horrid corsage
Spiders and crickets and yardsticks and rulers
That’s what you find when you clean the garage
Clearing out cobwebs and sweeping the edges
Working so hard that I need a massage
A thing that whacks weeds and a thing that trims hedges
That’s what you find when you clean the garage
Electrical cables and too many jump ropes
All tangled up like a rainbow collage
Frisbees and sleds and a sack full of Dove soaps
That’s what you find when you clean the garage
Now that it’s done and the dust and the trouble
Has faded away like a desert mirage
Order and peace has emerged from the rubble
That’s what you find when you clean the garage
(can you guess what we did this afternoon?)
Now that you've had some practice, I have two garages. Twice the satisfaction!
