the dishes pile up

i have become convinced
there is a creature of some sort
living in my kitchen
making dishes for me, his sport

the dishes pile up
he seems to have this trick
he makes them multiply
they go from two to ten so quick

i wake up to a mountain
of dish and bowl and spoon
all over the counters
plates and forks are strewn

this has to be some magic
i did not use that pan
how did it get there
this is his evil plan

he really is against me
he keeps mounting his attacks
the only thing i can do
is try to hold him back

the dirties keep on coming
the worst ones hard to rinse
a baster filled with oil
a pot with burned-on bits

he thinks I can’t do it
he thinks he will win
but I will keep on fighting
oh geez, the rolling pin!

my hands are wet and shriveled
my back is mighty sore
but i will win this battle
i will complete my chore

this creature in my kitchen
he may be a small myth
the mess might be coming from
the person i live with
