Procrastination

Procrastination is the thief of time
As I can show you with this silly rhyme
Up and at'em is the motto
Even when your mind is blotto
Once on your feet
you've got it beat!



The Mess

I have a mess
Within my nest
It's here until I clean, I guess



Housework

I have a quirk
About housework
I have to shirk
Or go berserk

Virginia's poems were often inspired by little accidents, 
like the time the safety valve blew on the pressure cooker 
and the hungry family watched as their delicious soup dripped 
from the walls and ceiling: 

The day the soup went up the wall
we hardly had much lunch at all
