I see the mountain before me
Grower higher by the minute;
I see the mountain dip and sway,
I think that someone’s in it!
Where’s my little munchkin?
He stands at three feet tall.
But for some odd reason,
I can’t even find him at all!
Where are you little boy?
Are you in that laundry pile?
I should have known that it was a risk
to let grow to a vertical mile…
With a burst of energy
I rush to knock it over
and find with the mountain’s depth
My daughter’s little brother…
Whew! Now he’s safe and sound
But that mountain has dispersed!
And now with colored clothing everywhere
I can’t find the earth!
Sighing in resignation
I pick up the hanging phone
and call for backup help-
I can’t battle this alone!
Cleaning lady dear,
Why don’t you move right in?
I never knew that I’d love you so!
I think you’re my best friend!
Maybe, one day
I will finish that huge pile.
But until we’ve conquered that stinky hill-
I’ll have to learn to smile!
