Upon the Phenomenon of Clothes Piling Up on Katie’s Chair

Whose chair this is, I think I know;
Her books are in the cube rooms, though.
She will not see me change down here
And cover deep her chair with clothes.

A bracelet there—a sock tossed here—
Away wing sweaters with good cheer;
The proper conduct—cleaning up—
Frowns grim at me, but deadlines near.

As well as clothes, I place my cup
Wherever handy, when I sup,
Or breakfast, or drink in between:
But rarely do I tidy up.

When reading Homer or Perrine
I change from khakis into jeans.
I know my mess is rather mean:
Perhaps this weekend I shall clean.
