Being a neat freak, is certainly not a 
blessing! No one enjoys, being this 
way. When I find everything thrown 
all around, on impulse, I have to put 
them all away. I have always lived by  
the creed, there's a place for everything 
and everyhting, in it's place! It's  
aggravating, dealing with this, but I 
know it's something, I've got to face. 
I've often wondered, how does a 
person, get to be this way? It didn't 
happen over night, or in just a day. 
Perhaps, it's what we learned, when 
we were young. And frankly speaking,  
I'm tired of hearing people say, try not 
to be so high strung! I'd like nothing 
better, if I could let up, just a little bit,  
by not letting myself become so  
perturbed. Upon giving this some 
thought, I realize, isn't all of this, quite 
absurd!
