Notes About The Poem

Being Lazy

Being lazy today is the name of the game.
I have no remorse, I have no shame.
I’m watching Hallmark movies to my heart’s content.
This Saturday afternoon will be well spent.

Come hell or high water, I won’t leave the couch.
This is what the doctor ordered for being a grouch.
The housework can wait, this requires my attention.
Being lazy today is the mother of invention!

Very descriptive of a wonderful Saturday afternoon. Reminds me of the time we watched three movies one night just for the sake of doing it. Thanks for the memory.

Ha Ha, It's what I'm doing now by reading others poems. I don't think you should call it lazy though, just recharging the batteries. Kind regards, Craig
