Poem
Got up this morning and took one look At today’s page in my appointment book Decided that with the rain pouring down There was no way I could make it to town So I called in sick to my job to say You see, I am having a bad hair day I really should clean house today But this stupid hang nail is in my way The dishes will just have to wait Folding the laundry, I really hate Dusting, mopping, or raking the yard Seems to be so terribly hard I really should go visit my dear Aunt Sue She is in bed with a new strain of flu I should take her some homemade soup But I think I am coming down with the croup I shouldn’t visit with that possibility No, I am not shirking my responsibility There are errands to run and bills to pay I will just put them off until another day I need to watch Oprah and Dr. Phil Maybe an old episode of King of the Hill Catch up on my reading of romance books Listen to my CD’s by Garth Brooks The phone rings and on the other end I hear the excited voice of my dear friend She says that there is a big clearance sale I must wash my hair and I have a hang nail What did you say, I asked her twice Fifty percent off of the lowest price Hold on, I think I am feeling better Let me get my purse and my sweater I’ll be there in fifteen minutes or less I’ll just pull a cap over this mess Shopping will rally me every time To shop is to live so I am in my prime
