Paint Job Prep

All the items on the walls

Must go, before the painter calls

And when they’re down, I’ll see the dust

So cleaning everything’s a must.

 

Then where to put them? There’s no room.

If closets are what you’d assume,

You’ve never really had to face

A New York home with not much space.

 

My sister says, your digs are small.

It’s easy to prepare it all,

But when confronting all my stuff,

I know my prep time’s not enough.

 

Still, I will do what I can do

And though my place won’t look like new,

It will be fresh and clean and then

I’ll hang each item up again.
