Linda Allen
Why do I spend my life
caught in this storm and strife
Picking up puzzles to fit into boxes
Papers and peanuts
and soggy galoshes
I've got better things to do than to pick up after you
I could
sail far away for a year and a day
In a boat of shimmering blue
To an island I know where
the warm breezes blow
And I know just what I would do
I'd put up an umbrella on that
glorious beach
Right next to the NO CHILDREN sign
And I'd read three whole books from
beginning to end
And more, if I'd feel so inclined
Oh, why do I spend my life caught
in this storm and strife
Picking up socks and a moldy old bear
Finding two months worth of
old underwear
I've got better things to do than to pick up after you
I could give of
my talents to challenge the makers
Of war -- I would march, I would sing
I would write
twenty letters, or then, even better
I'd give all the generals a ring
And I'd talk to them
nicely and ask them politely
To give up their nuclear toys
But if they won't say that
they'll put them away
Well it's "time out" for those ornery boys
Oh, why do I spend
my life caught in this storm and strife
Picking up things that I can't recognize
Covered
with fungus and lazy fruit flies
I've got better things to do than to pick up after
you
I could start up a workshop for mothers who've not stood up
Straight since the
youngest was born
We'll do role-plays and cry, learn a mantra, and sigh
"Born to stand" --
to repeat, every morn
And then for the test we'll invite in a guest
To drop socks in a
heap on the floor
Any woman who sweats and then trembles and heads
For the socks must
repeat the whole course
Oh, why do I spend my life caught in this storm and
strife
Screaming and bribing and pleading my lot
But will you pick up? No, you will
not
I've got better things to do than to pick up after you
