SPRING CLEANING
When winter is over and the sun starts to shine
Our homes always look a bit drab
The woodwork looks fine and the walls really shine
But to others the paint brush they grab.
When I hear the words satin or matt
White spirit, sugar soap and Thinner
I know that I’ve lost so just count the cost
On this subject I am surely no winner.
The smell of the paint is so strong
I have no choice but to leave
It has to be quick or I’ll be very sick
As I’m already starting to heave.
Although the weather is wet and cold
I go out to escape the foul smell
So that when I get back and take off my Mac
I can take a deep breath really well.
Don’t get me wrong when it’s done
I can sing a thankful refrain
That without fear it will last a year
Then be in need of re-painting again.
