The To Do List the Serious One

The To Do List - The Serious One The goal today is to wake up and be alive If you die you serve no purpose The gold fish cannot feed itself you know This is no circus Next thing to do is to do the dishes If they refuse just leave them for the misses Take out the trash with a semi-automatic If it talks back, kill it on the spot (You simply can’t have refuse talking trash like that) Enlist the spouse to make you coffee It does not make itself Nothing in life is free she says As she falls back to sleep There is no coffee in the house. There is no food as well Shopping is out of the question without a car Put that on the To Do List for tomorrow Along with a pen and paper to get things done This is no charity organization just for fun Lists can’t write themselves “Find a job” should be at the top of any list Along with dreams and wishes The goal today is to be alive If you die you serve no purpose
