Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Writing Challenge I words, Sponsored by Constance la France

Indecisive

I once was quite indecisive
but now I am not so sure,
I’ve got to make my mind up
but it’s a downright chore!

So when two choices are offered
and I’ve got to choose some cake,
I’ll cut a slice off each of them
I can’t afford to make a mistake!

If I post this in Constance’s contest 
it’s early days, it’s not a race,
but if I hesitate for a moment
I may be tardy and not get a place!

Perhaps I should pen another poem
but then again I’d have to choose,
If I were to chose the other one
she may not like it and I’d lose!

Once I was quite indecisive
but now I’m not very sure,
so I really must make a decision
but it’s turned into an arduous chore!
