Nice to be Outdoors
Some days are good for doing chores
But also nice to be outdoors
So I’ve combined some stops in stores
With soaking up some sun.
For days like this, I can’t abide
Too many hours stuck inside.
Instead, with instinct as my guide,
I’m getting so much done.
I bought some flowers in a pot
And posted letters in their slot,
Plus bought a shirt I like a lot,
All on my chore-type run.
And now, with laundry washed and dried
And Swiffered floors, I’m back outside,
For sunny afternoons provide
The chance, which I’ve begun
To watch the river as I write,
The water such a calming sight,
The city bringing me delight,
Like magic it has spun.
