Messy Room
by Shel Silverstein
Whover room this is should be ashamed!基督教赞美诗歌
His underwear is hanging on the lamp.
His raincoat is there in the overstuffed chair,
And the chair is becoming quite mucky and damp.
His workbook is wedged in the window,
His sweater's been thrown on the floor.
His scarf and one ski are beneath the TV,
And his pants have been carelessly hung on the door.
His books are all jammed in the clot,
His vest has been left in the hall.根号函数

And his smelly old sock has been stuck to the wall.

Huh? You say it's mine? Oh, dear,
I knew it looked familiar!
