Procrastination

Me, Myself and I


One day Me, Myself, and I thought about conquering 
the world.
Me, wanted to get a map and start immediately.
Myself,  wondered if we should go to a Travel Agent.
I, thought he'd think about it later.

Me, Myself and I wanted to learn to ski..
Me wanted to buy skies right away,
Myself wanted to wait for a discount sale..
I, thought sledding might be the better alternative. 

The trio decided to get "healthy".
Me wanted to join a gym and work out.
Myself thought a walk in the park would suffice.
I swore to give up give up Starbucks Mocha-Late-
Calorie What-evers... next week.

Me, Myself and I went back to bed and thought of
Scarlet O'Hara. We'll think about all  that stuff 
tomorrow..or next week.

Dear Barbara, this is such a unique and creative approach and I enjoyed the conflicting goals among "Me, Myself and I." Your poetry is in a special class of its own and you know I'm a fan! Love, Carolyn
