I Like My Things in Boxes
I like my things in boxes
With special labels, row on row,
My life all separated
In a cardboard fashion show.
With folder and divider,
Polly pocket – in a file.
Nothing quite like being anal
And organised all the while.
I've seven different systems
To sort my odds and ends:
Size, colour, shadow and lint,
Straightness, value and bends.
And I'm happy once it's finished
Everything right and so,
For I like my things in boxes
With special labels, row on row.

Just Marvelous
I really enjoyed reading this from beginning to end.
everything needs to be organized for me to function well
no need to wonder where it right there
see no need for changes.
