We Hate Paperwork

Nothing drains me faster than housework Unless it is filing Or paperwork Facing a day of drudgery Takes the oomph out of my dendrite field We crawl out of bed We meaning me and Reluctance Reluctance is stubborn and keeps track We didn’t like it last year We are not going to like it this year Procrastination is waiting in the hallway As we crawl past We HATE paperwork! She screams All of my energy gone now, I can barely lift myself up to the toilet. After I wash my hands I crawl back to bed And call in sick. Weirdly enough, Energy and Fun kick in immediately. We run out to the art studio and play all day I feel like the Energizer Bunny!

I have to admit playing hooky is kind of my "middle name". I used to FORCE my twin to play hooky and she sobbed, knowing we would be caught and whipped hard.
