A Poem on The Wretched Table Top

Table tops or the tops of anything around, a convenient spot to dump the odds and ends.

How indulging is a table top

for a thorough mess

embracing all your dumps therein

and lighten your distress.

It is such a high land

kids climbing up and down

while adults go up the wall instead

face contorted in a frown.

I open my cabinets to find

they’re all scooped clear

the contents reside on table tops

merrily through the year.

The litter go a rioting

vying for space

what a blatant display oh!

my innovation for disgrace.

Nosey guests turn up, unannounced

I mumble an excuse

I was just clearing off

they’re unconvinced, I muse.

Then, who did it and when

begins the blame game

I’m just away from calling the cops

for warring heads to tame.

Very nice, and I somehow feel like you’ve seen my tabletops . . .

My tabletop this afternoon was a real mess and nobody was willing to take responsibility! If tables had the power of insurgence, we would probably be sleeping out of our houses! LOL!

It’s funny how cluttered a place can be when everyone just empties their pockets and walk away.
