The poet wrote, “You should have the cleanest desk of all
To have bright thoughts, or you will not have them at all.”
Against this idea I absolutely vote,
Quoting Einstein—his famous quote:
“If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind,
Of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?”
My desk is messy a little, I admit
But contrary to some, I find everything I need.
My wife does not think my desk is really fine
She disagrees with Einstein’s theory, and mine.
But I’ll make a statement if you do not mind:
The desk has nothing to do with somebody’s mind.
