What I Accomplished Today

I said I’d wake at dawn And mow the shaggy lawn, I said I’d clear the shed And weed the flower bed, I said I’d press her clothes And wash her pantyhose, I said I’d clean the rooms And clear the musty fumes, I said I’d cook the lunch - But now we reach the crunch: We’ve ceased to co exist - I only wrote this list… For Sara’s What I accomplished Today List contest

Enjoyable list, Jack, even though unaccomplished! I don't know if the ending is sad, or whether it's a weight off your mind!:) // paul

Your simple words say a lot and convey strong emotions without a lot of window dressing. Nice job. Emile.
