Lock and Key

The truth

Is hard to let out;

I've locked it up

With a golden key,

And I wont let you in

Until I can sort out

This mess I've made;

This mess I've found.

"In a state of cleaning,"

I'll post it on my door,

Then shut it before you

So you wont ask anymore.

Your consideration

Is duly noted,

But I wont pay you for

The convenience you pose me;

Because you wont get behind

These concrete walls

And this barbed wire lining

'Till I'm done cleaning.
