Sidetracked

"Hubby, I’m off to take a shower,
 I should be done in half an hour.”
 But…now turn PC on instead!
 A mental list within my head!

  
    •	Sign into my PS account.
    •	Check the new Poem Of The Day.
    •	Type in my comment, make it count.
    •	Find all the blogs, read what they say.
    •	Add my input without delay.
    •	Check the lists for contests won.
    •	Send my congrats when that is done.
    •	Review my write about the Sun.
    •	Submit it for a contest theme.
    •	Check out New Poems on the list.
    •	Comment on ones that make me beam.
    •	Respond to comments that I missed.
    •	Address my Soup Mail inbox stream.

 Oh my! Two hours gone, I find!
 No shower yet, I’m way behind!
 And hubby comments, “one-track mind,”
 But understands, becomes resigned.

This is lovely and entertaining, Sandra. Soup is addictive! I'm sure hubby does not really mind, and does some housework instead:) Congrats on a merited win. // paul
