Why on earth would I wax the ceiling?
Is the paint up there so badly peeling?

I look up, and to my own eyes
It’s only then do I realize

Ragged pieces, hang and flutter
The cobwebs hide the messy clutter

What shall I do, I can’t stand by
Oh, why must ceilings be so high?

Perhaps, I could try, sealing wax
That’s one sure way to hide the cracks

So, when people look up, all they’ll see
Are the pieces now stuck, to the ceiling and me
