You worked so hard.
The car was clean –
It really did have a sheen.
But that was yesterday.
Have you looked today?
You won’t holler “Hooray.”
It’s hard to breathe –
You rasp and wheeze.
Inside you seethe.
You exercise not, but:
Your eyes they run;
Your nose does too.
Ibuprofen.
Aspirin.
Acetaminophen.
Close the window.
Turn on the air.
Mail that check to friendly Vepco.
The bees do love it.
You say to shove it –
You’ll never love it.
Ah spring…
When young hearts they turn
To thoughts of a car wash.
The windshield’s yellow.
The whole car’s yellow.
Why ain’t you mellow?
It’s plain to see –
This sure sign of spring
Just ain’t your thing.
It’s in the air.
It’s in your hair.
It’s E-ver-y-where!
Now! Right now!!
Go!!!
Wash that car again!!!!
