Best Errands Poems
Had i known; angels
went on errands;
Indolent my flesh
must
grow,
Surf in wealth of no
labour to show
Stuck to my solfa with
popcorn bowl,
Watch my polo
squeezed to no
damp,
My belle filled with
not
hassle.
I choose to live like
Pharaoh and his
knights.
My poemdom on one
dais, much better;
A pinacle; spill my ink
for my only labour.
My imagination; hope
not as lucifers'
Gehenna! No o!
Even as i spill my
restless ink
I hear not all errand
they honour.
O! How imaginations
please my unlanguid
mind.
Tiresome errands (Chanso or Chanson)
For many of us, errands are so boring;
Many crucial things to do to show status
rather than wasting time doing routine jobs;
Like, taking Selfie in a new dress, so glaring;
Pushing the photo to all friends and wait
for their comments, or writing notes of dissent
on someone's views, we enjoy the freedom of free
views than doing silly household tasks; don't prate.
Outcome - errands get pushed back for tomorrow
but again tomorrow's work kept for next time
Yes to be done, but not now, let those be piled;
It's not the right time, now to watch the fashion show.
When you attend those ridiculous odd jobs
you may spend double the time in attending
them, and maybe miss a deadline for an urgent task.
Don't blame others, that's your choice to act as slobs.
None said, you're lazy; rather you're too busy
working in an organization, attending
office in time getting more work done, and even
enjoying a holiday trip to a new city.
Only routine works rank low priority;
Everyday errands have become happenings
as when you get around to it, you feel like
Oh! It’s a great achievement apparently.
But in childhood, you home was clean, convenient;
Though Mom was also attending her office
but she used to finish every mundane task
in time not pushed to pending list; 'twas secret.
Now, you know well, how that was possible.
Simple, every job finish in time; nothing kept
for tomorrow; instant action doable;
why not try now, break the mental obstacle;
Like, room to be cleaned, clean it now, don't wait for
auspicious moment; Utensils to be washed
clean before going out; bed to be arranged
do it as you get up; just be agile more.
Of course, the choice is yours; to rank high on glaring
social media gratification scale
for so-called great status, Or becoming a
victim of modern malaise: tiresome errands.
What’s needed is a little discipline in
daily work, and more thoughtful efforts to begin.

My parents did not know
About Joe
My beloved beau
And what the maturing character did
Making him a heroic paternal twit
One day with spring in the air
Did not have a care
Joe
My beloved beau
Visited General Dollar
Feeling the tightness to the matrimony collar
Passing through an electronic open door
Walked the retail floor
Blue lights suddenly went off
Everybody around him started to cough
“Is there a doctor in here?”
Someone called, swelling a tear
Joe
My beloved beau
Took control
Acting very bold
Grabbed a ‘to do list’ pad
Using a provider pen, the future Dad
Scribbled and scrabbled
Writing, looked like baby babble
“Did you pick up what you needed?”
Inside voice greeted
Little bit of this
Got a kiss
Little bit of that
Bride got fat
Soon there was a little one
From a night of gymnastics fun
Joe
My beloved beau
You made me
The aqua siren shined with glee
Boy is on the way
Delivery message did say
Pushing the basket
Not masking it
Joe
My beloved beau
Smiled
Arriving, ranked and file
Unloading the necessity pile
Diapers and stuff
Child bearing is going to be tough
Only a few months from now
No longer looking like a cow
Two of us
Will take the bus
Pinching pennies a must
But will come together again
Then send
Another take out order
Requesting a daughter
Natural in pink
Schooled in, performing the luring wink
Creating more
Patron traffic, visiting the family friendly department store
messages embedded in ornery places
hidden behind stockades of braces
smuggled into enemy territory
theirs, no errands of vainglory
hard-bitten pros, war-wise, discreet
MIA ~ memories of peacetime sweet
It's my day off I should be chillin'
My mind and body are not willin'
To relax because they need
To do chores so I can see
All my errands are about
Getting done as I lounge out
