I want to help you, if I may

"I want to help you, if I may,"
will be the first words I will say
when I get out of bed today.

It will not be a day for play.
I have good deeds to do!
It certainly is better
than sitting, feeling blue.


I'll run the vacuum cleaner
(I think it's sort of fun).
I know I can do it well.
As well as any one!

Then I'll clean up the bathroom
with a great big sponge
dipped in soapy water
and it is "Bye, bye grunge!"
