two-step

“How was your date?
Yes, we’re up late.

We got lots done
while you were gone.

You’ve never seen
a cat so clean.

The doorbell now
sounds like a cow.

And don’t you love
the wall above

that giant mess?
You’d never guess

a little girl
had made that mural.

The guy who’s coming
about the plumbing

can Roto-Root
the laundry chute.

What else? The dryer
may smell like fire.

The goldfish bowl
may still be full

of cheese knishes.
If not, the fish is.

The babysitter
may be bitter.”
