Holiday Organizational Poem!

By
Home Builder with Lennar Corporation

 The time has come to retake your home,

 So we thought we would please you with an organizational poem.

 

‘Tis the time of year for organized homes

 Take the time to go through your stuff with a fine tooth comb.

 

With family and friends bringing holiday cheer,

It is time to clean your home, put your rear in gear!

 

While dust bunnies hide under the beds, untouched in years,

This is no time to waste with useless tears.

 

Clutter falls from the closets scattering your halls with junk you don’t use,

This is just one of many organizational cues!

 

 Time to organize your clutter with bins and shelves,

 It is you who has to clean, it won’t be the elves!

 

 Shelving can bring more space to your over-run dress closet,

 While storage bins can fight the shoe mountain and stop it!

 

There are other places where you can do so much more!  

 Reclaim your cabinets and reclaim your drawers.

 

With file shelves and wire baskets,

 You can easily find those missing gadgets.

 

The kitchen could also use some TLC

 Don’t kid yourself, your not too busy

 

Take those aprons, the oven mitts and spices

 Sort them into their respective piles; now that suffices!

 

 Throw away the unused tools,

 Now is the time to make new rules!

 

Follow this pattern time after time,

 Maybe next time we won’t have to rhyme.

 

Now is the time to head to the garage and hang your things,

 Separate your belongings to gain your bearings.

 

Bikes can hang from the ceiling with care,

 Tools hang on the wall, just over there.

 

Take your home back to organizational bliss,

 With these organization tips, you can’t miss!

 

Thank you for reading our cleaning story,

 I hope your home is clean and hunky-dory!

 

 Now go enjoy your family and friends

Hurry-up, quick! Before your vacation ends!

Many of us needed this advice.  When you stay in the same home for many years, there is certainly the need to clear out unused items and organize the others.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Oh that is such a depressing thought!  I don't even want to think about getting organized!  After all, this disorganized chaos has served me well for well over 60 years.....
