Undone

“The only correct actions are those that demand no explanation and no apology” Red Auerbach On my fridge I have a list of all the things I need to do. Today I put up a list of all the things that need to be undone. Stick around and I will explain my second list to you. The beginning seems best to start, so here is number one. When we argue I always refer to your family as being the fault. Now I will rescind all those unkind words admitting I was wrong. And your family who have done no wrong I will gladly exalt. For all the times you disciplined the kids, and I did not go along. Making me the good guy and you the mean one, I wasn’t fair. I will talk to the kids, let them know I was wrong and mend my ways. All the great meals you make and I eat by the TV in my easy chair. From now on we all eat at the table and that’s the way it stays. In two golf clubs now, I am gone nearly all weekend playing. I hardly get to see you and the kids Its time to for me to choose one. Its expensive, so from now on, with you and the kids I’ll be staying. I don’t need to be in two clubs so membership at one gets undone. My list is short but I am sure I can find things to grow it. And you will be pleased when you see things around here improve. I love you darlin and from now on I am going to show it. Maybe I can even attack the to do list to and really get on the move.

I love this poem my darlin Merv. So long as you aren't "undoing" things so you can do them back up again "like the toaster" You did so well with poem.

OK I will get to the to do list soon. OK the toaster was no good anyway and you already bought a new one. Stop bringing it up.
