Before

Before you:

My bed was never made,
My shirts were never ironed,
My underwear was sometimes pink,

I didn't get up for breakfast,
I didn't get up for work,
I didn't pay my bills,

The car was never clean,
The dog was never walked,
The grass was never mowed,

But now, my world is complete:

Thanks for nagging.
