The bells have rung
And its now time to ring
This pile is way too tall
And of course
Just slightly too wide
Time to now gather
And air out the dirty laundry

Holy mother of duct tape
The pile is more
Than a simple pile
Of watchamacallits and thingamabobbers
I believe I even see the chipped edge
Of everything and the kitchen sink

The bells have rung
And its now time to ring
This pile is way too tall
And of course
Just slightly too wide
Time to now gather
And air out the dirty laundry

Organize the pile into divisions:
Soldiers of our secrets
Above our poor heavy heads,
For that is how tall this pile is,
Are colorful lies of what we told
Lies of our fathers
And sins of our mothers
Deceits of our children
And the adultery of our pets
Soldiers, lined in piles
Within a monstrous pile
Of our dirty laundry
Will fight a war
Even Virgil would not believe
Fight dear men
Fight for King and Country
And for the poor Ladies of the night

For, indeed I do proclaim
The disdain we do feel
And our red cherry-fied cheeks
Will be our witnesses-
This towering pile
Of dirty laundry
Is a tad bit more
Than just bloomers and knickers
Tossed together as if in a salad
Of onion-y gym shorts and sneakers
Soldiers of secrets and the aroma of deceit
Have made their home in this pile
Pile of dirty laundry  

The bells have rung
And its now time to ring
This pile is way too tall
And of course
Just slightly too wide
Time to now gather
And air out the dirty laundry

To air out such filth
We must begin at the source of the problem
Wash our own hands
Before touching the pile of all
Wash your hands, please
This pile needs to be aired out
My hands, cold as they are
Small as I know them to be
Have many layers of filth
Many
But I’m washing away the lies
And airing out the dirty laundry
That I do know to exist
That we all know
To be

I fantastically love this and all its meaning. I'm going to go wash my hands now.
