Down-Great Expectations
The day begins with a big win-win
A brilliant sunrise dazzles my eyes
So much to do now, so many plans
Then again, some unwelcome demands
It's already noon, the heat's got me down
My sunrise smile's turned into a frown
Been spinning my wheels most of the morn
Time to pick up the pace, get airborne
I wing my way forward until it's past dark
Yet as I add things up, the totals are stark
Of all those big plans I intended to do
Not one completed, and started just two
A lesson I learned though, a word to the wise
~ Downgrade expectations after sunrise
