The Worst of Me

The Worst of Me The worst of me is lazy Just wants to kick back Sup on a beer And forget the world Feet up Staring at the sky With no thoughts at all Drowsy and listless And time a pointless Peers from warm covers A tiny window To shirk all my responsibilities Yup That’s the worst of me To live in millionaire socks And be unconcerned by insubstantial problems Just a loafing lackadaisical bear Hibernating On a laid back arm chair While having time to think And ponder The floating dust motes In a beam of light Awake but sleeping Surreptitiously day dreaming For lazy hours Instead of working Just contentedly cat napping While stretching out On time spent Unequivocally doing nothing While the clock is intent On sneakily kidnapping The past and missing Hours

I can SO relate to this, Colin! You've inspired me! To write....not to clean my house. Haha! Yes, this site feeds the day-dreamy side of me, for sure! The key is to achieve balance! Have an awesome day! Donna

oh how I have had those daydreams... however writing just allows enough time those escapes from reality. i enjoyed this poem very much, brought a smile to a day that seemed to be headed south...Thanks!! -jason
