A Not-So-Gentle Push
It’s easy to do nothing –
Sit at home and park your tush,
But sometimes you must give yourself
A not-so-gentle push.
And so, on this delightful day
With sunshine in the sky,
I took the subway to a store
With things I like to buy.
The streets were filled with tourists
And the shops festooned with lights.
I stopped to see the Christmas tree
That soars to dizzy heights.
It wasn’t super crowded
And I splurged and bought a dress.
My little push gave me a day
Which was a sweet success.
