I Will Organize
If I have the time, I will organize
my many drawers – in the kitchen first.
That junk drawer there – oh, it is the worst!
Bedroom, then bathroom. I’ll prioritize!
And when I’m done with that, where will I store
my poetry? Where will I put it all?
In the bookcase against my room’s long wall
or in my drawers, of which I need more?
Drawers for papers I’ve written things on;
drawers for doo-dads (I’ve many of those);
for coupons and bills. How everything grows!
I lose things in piles for thinking they’re gone!
I just want to sit here making a rhyme,
not doing the mundane things I should do.
Too often I’ve been down this avenue -
but drawers I’ll do . . if I have the time!
