The Wheel of the World

The Closet

I mop the floors and sweep the halls

And into the closet I go-

Open the doors and everything falls

And onto the floor I go.

A fluffy coat and silver shoes with flowers down the sides

Then a big straw hat drops on my head,

As a polka dot scarf with a pair of gloves

Flies out of that wardrobe, you see.

I check my watch, it’s ten-oh-eight

This dreary task must be done

So I jump off the floor,

Stuff the pants in the corner

And a nightgown on the shelf,

Throw the hat, shoes, and scarf

And force the doors to close.
Oh no there’s one more left-

The fluffy coat sprawled on the floor!

But there’s no room behind the doors,

And that’s the only closet!
