To Do List

I've a million things to do today: Like save the world, and cure the sick, Feed the starved, and free the Slaves- Sustain the Poor, my stars predict! A home for all, the naked clothed, And make the water clean to drink I bring them Peace, and save their Soul; I do, I do! Just ask my Shrink!

Thanks, Robin. I'm wondering if the irony is getting lost somehow. The last line is supposed to make what seems like a semi-serious poem actually humorous. It's meant to be a "To Do" list for someone who has delusions of grandeur. That's why I implore the reader to ask my psychiatrist for verification lol ;)
