O, Joy -- a Gray Day
O, joy! A gray day! Now there's so much to do!
I hope you get to it all, or at least 10% through
You'll want to curl up in bed with a riveting book
And stay there till the skies've refreshed their look
Try on some clothes you've never worn before
Grab a sandwich for lunch at the local deli and more
Invite friends over for a few drinks and a chat
Pore over graduation and wedding pics before that
Declutter your closets, your attic or basement
Clean the crevices of your house and the cracks in your casements
Watch a movie or two, in good old black-and-white
Crank out those emails or letters you've been planning to write
Call all those friends and relatives who live so far away
Plan out your next vacation: What you'll see; where you'll stay
And at the the end of the day, when you need to regroup
Treat yourself with a hot cup of tasty new Poetry Soup
