Clutter

Used to get rid of newspapers every day.
Now they pile up instead of being thrown away
Another sign of aging when you let those little things go
And before you know it, you've gone down the clutter hole

Clutter in the living room
Clutter in the hall
Clutter in the bed room
Even clutter on the walls

Happened to my mom too
got so bad I once came home
spent days throwing away clutter until I was through
Then I saw that clutter kept her from feeling all alone

Clutter in the living room
Clutter in the hall
Clutter in the bed room
Even clutter on the walls

After she died it took a week to fine the floor
Unopened mail going back years, kitchen full of dishes and plates
Every time it looked like there was daylight, there was more
Even the cat box overflowed with waste

Clutter in the living room
Clutter in the hall
Clutter in the bed room
Even clutter on the walls

I don't want to live in clutter no more
Got me some big green bags from the store
Remove this clutter that I dread.
Then the only clutter left will be in my head
