The van was a mess
I must confess
It was time to give it a good cleaning
It had accumulated enough soot
For plants to take root
Giving dirty a whole new level of meaning
( And that was just the outside )
I rolled open the door
And gaped at the floor
It was completely covered in shit
As I held my nose
And shoveled out moldy clothes
I found myself ready to snap
From the windows I scraped stickers
From the seats I plucked “pickers”
Left over from last winters’ colds
I tossed out dirty spoons and utensils
And worn broken crayons and pencils
And Tupperware containers full of old food
The van now exorcised
I spun around in surprise
And found my daughters staring back at me in shock
There stood my girls
Trash bags unfurled
Filling the van back up with their crap
