Organize Like A Boss

Does this mean toss?

OLAB for short

With a cohort

~

Decluttering

I’m not muttering

Its whitespace today

Labels yesterday

Containers on Monday

~

Eliminate anxiety

OLAB makes me cry

It is only important to try

If you have too much

Get rid of a bunch

~

10-minute miracles

Some things are durables

They last forever and tables

will fill up over time as you have

to put something there, maybe halve

it to fit there without a problem

or will that be a conundrum

~

This project is only a week

Thankfully, I will be meek

And stay the course

The cohort is a huge force

Of support with this project

And I endorse this aspect

Of OLAB, finding a buddy

And not just any old fuddy-duddy

But a real down-to-earth quick study!

~

Time to create some whitespace

In a few spaces in my place

I may hang a few photos

To get them off the bookcase

I have too much wall space, I suppose

Pictures will improve the space.

~

Enough putting it off

Time to get to it I scoff

Wait my art will need a frame

It isn’t a gallery of fame

Only my attempt at paintings

And photos of family gatherings.

Sounds good, stop this s-it

Let’s do it!
