Notes About The Poem

A bit exaggerated. haha

(a drum roll with rift would be nice)

Just Because


If I can drive, I do not walk.
I no more write letters; by cell phone I talk.
I sometimes hide dirt under the rug.
Most things in my house I do not unplug.
I like my clothing permanent pressed,
and I go to bed sometimes not undressed.
Fun things I do most of the day
by putting things off so I can play.
Dishes pile up inside my sink.
I take out the garbage when it starts to stink.
Chores can wait till the house drives me crazy.
I do all these things 
just because . . . 
I am lazy.

To a 12-year-old girl - what Liberty looks like.

Those facets hewn by character ~ a diamond in the making is nature's handy work. From any vantage or perspective you've achieved indubitably that beauty of soul beloved friend.

Nice rhyme. It reminds me all too much of my roommate, but it is a nice poem.

It is nice to have fun without any work, although clean houses smell better.
