Neat as a Pin

Comment from GARY MACLEAN
Sounds like you are a real "non-messy" neatnik.
One consideration:
You should equalize font size, except, of course, for those words that you want to accentuate: The last two lines of stanza 8 and the first two lines of stanza 9 are font size 10.5. Then the last two lines of stanza 9 are font size 10, while the rest of the piece are font size 11.
I don't think you should open the closet doors any time soon.

Computers, can't live with them, can't live without them. They have a mind of their own.

A place for everything and everything in its place. My problem has always been clutter and although I hate clutter I can't seem to stop it accumulating, you made me smile here, a fun write, love Dolly x

Comment from Erica Ruth
Lol, this is all too familiar! That rush of panic to hide everything that is the mess before company arrives. Then drag it all out and make a bigger mess when it's time to clean the hidden mess. Epically relatable

What a Mess - Neat As a Pin: two contrasts. I liked your poem a lot, but I am confused about the font size. Is there a reason that the font gets smaller at the end of the poem? I'm curious if I am missing something.

no, you're right. I changed some of the lines after I had pasted the poem, and it changed the size of the letters, and I couldn't make it go back to the original size. I probably need to redo the whole thing, but am just too tired tonight. Thank you so much for liking it. I was rather disappointed in myself.

A merry mirthful poem on
messes, lol! I pretty much
do the same thing as you,
just store things every which
way. My room is a monument
to messiness, lol. My very
best wishes for the contest.
Have a neat weekend. Blessings
