I Was Going To- But
'Twas a week before Christmas
And I've not done my shopping
I was going this morning
But first, my floors needed a mopping
I was going to mop them
But I first had to broom
Then, I waited to sweep them
Till I first cleaned the room
With pots and pans messy
From the cookies I baked
And icing on the counter
Where the cookies were caked
I wanted to run the dishwasher
Before I swept the floor
And I wanted to wipe fingerprints
That were smudged on the door
But I waited to do that
Till I cleaned out my fridge
But I figure I'd wait
Till I ate me a smidge...
Of waffles with butter
All smothered in sugar
But I lost my darn appetite
When I noticed a booger
With all that I've not done
It had messed with my head
Said- "The hell with my shopping...
I'll just go back to bed"
