The I Would Rather Not List
Have you made a list of things you would rather not do?
I would if I were you,
As there are things you may have to do,
And a list will help prepare you,
For doing things you would rather not do
But feel you must,
In order to get to do things you might like to do,
Which should be a comfort to you,
Unless you are over seventy-two,
And have trouble remembering what you used to do,
When you were up to doing what you liked to,
And you end up doing things you would rather not do,
So, others can do what they like to,
Without doing what they would rather not do,
Unless they have to,
In order to do what they would like to do,
If they are still under seventy two.
