My shirt smelled,
And so I burned it in a fire,
And now what's left of it smells fine.
So I'll wash it,
And hang it on the line.
It will take a lot of clothespins
To keep those ashes
From blowing off in the wind.

You may think how silly it is of me
To do my laundry in such a foolish way,
But I learned all this from someone
Who burned up love, one thoughtless, careless day.
