Going for Gold

Consecutive days,
yes, that’s what I seek.
Twenty in a row:
that’s nearly three weeks.

Just keep it alive,
you’ll groove it, I’m told.
But here’s what I know:
it’s just getting old.

The same could be said
for writing a verse.
Try hard though you may,
your efforts get worse.

Made it to twenty;
its gold for the win.
Rowing tomorrow?
Nah, I’m sleeping in!
