Poem Title:
Poem
I had much to accomplish last Saturday, But far too many things got in my way: As always when awaking, I took a pee, then went to see the emails piled up for me. I stayed so long, missed boxing class, so then, I grabbed some food and went downstairs again! Decided I’d swim laps at 12 instead. Felt tired, so I lay down on my bed. Put the TV on; dozed off. Oh my! Woke up at noon, so skipped the swim (sigh!) Told myself I’d later use the gym. Then called my hubbie - talked a bit to him. Called a sister too and talked forever. Thought about the gym. I’d get there never! Decided to do lesson plans and got my book. Went to the computer, but at Soup I took a look! Saw some blogs and got involved in those. Got up to pet the dog and blow my nose. Remembered I had vacuuming to do But had to write a poem that was brand new. Decided that the vacuuming could wait. Took a bath and readied for my mother/daughter date. Put on better clothes and got to thinking lesson plans and gym were off (my heart was sinking). Happy nonetheless, I drove my car. Went to my sweet daughter’s house; it’s not too far. Drove an hour more in pouring rain just to eat at Maid-rites once again! Satisfied and chatting, headed south. Taste of Maid-rites lingered in my mouth. Arrived in Sandy for a film called Child 44. Resisted smell of popcorn and the urge to eat once more. Got home late. The dog was filled with glee. I let him in the house as he jumped all over me. My lovely weekend’s nearly gone. What fun. . . when vacuuming and lesson plans are still not done! (A list poem written for Sara Kendrick's "What I Accomplished Today" Poetry contest on the following day, Mother’s Day,when I actually finally did the vacuuming and my lesson plans! Nothing like putting things off till the last minute!)
