Room Cleaning Robot I'm building a robot to clean up my room using junk on my floor like this busted balloon. I'll build it with tee-shirts and three smelly socks, four wrappers, a rock, and a cereal box, a handful of worms that were dried in the sun, my brother's rare comic, a cinnamon bun, a library book that's a year over due, a sneaker, a sandal, and Dad's missing shoe. I'll keep on constructing with old underwear, used tissues, dried spit balls, and fallen out hair, a half eaten sandwich, that's half a year old, a broken umbrella, I can't get to fold. I'll top off my robot with crushed soda cans, a jar full of flies, and a bucket of sand. As I finish my robot, I have to confess, that my room is now clean, but my robot's a mess.
