Do As I Please

If I had a week to do as I please I wonder what I would do? I could just sit back and do nothing That would cut down on the planning, it’s true. Doing nothing, it’s hard to tell when you’re through Besides it ain’t that much fun Especially if you do it all by yourself You can’t share it with anyone. So here is what I came up with I’m thinking you’ll be amazed You’ll probably think I’m a genius You’ll agree that I should be praised. I’m just gonna sit in my easy chair, Close my eyes and pretend what I choose. I won’t have to travel, it won’t cost a cent So what have I got to lose. A week to conjure-up whatever I like There’s no limit - the world’s at my feet A whole week to dream whatever I like And not be the least bit discrete. For “A week to do as I please contest” P.S. I really don’t think this poem qualifies For ”A Week to do as I Please” It’s probably not what you had in mind So I offer my apologies. Just wad it up and throw it away And pretend it doesn’t exist If it’s as good as I think it is Disregard it - I insist!
