My mom told me to clean my room
I did what I was told;
But when she came to check it out
She started in to scold.

I never seem to figure out
What I’m supposed to do;
No matter where I put my things
She says it’s like a zoo.

To find a place to put my books
My clothes go on the floor;
My jacket then I have to toss
Behind the closet door.

Please, someone tell me what to do
So I can go out and play;
My room looks perfectly clean to me
But Mom just says, “No way!”
HELP! I'M ONLY TEN!
