Welcome to my World

There are seven pairs of shoes scattered through the living room.

One pair of sandles by the chair
One pair of plaid Vans by the recliner
Three pairs by the coffee table: black high tops, another pair of sandles, and black Vans
Two pairs at the end of the couch: steel toe hiking boots and camo slip on tennis shoes

None of these are mine.

Neither are:
Four crusty socks
The Tuba
Two book bags
four empty glasses
1/2 empty can of pop
3 empty paper plates

Well, what is mine?

The three men who occupy this house.

...and I wouldn't trade them for a clean living room any day of the week.
