I had four summer goals this year
School starts in nine days.
How many of these goals did I accomplish?
Not one.
I was caught up in being lazy
Being ill, being tired. I watched TV
became a vegetable, ate packages of donuts
Gained weight that I thought I would lose
Do not remember three of the goals now
But I have had a relaxing summer
And I am ready to return to work
Maybe that was the ultimate goal
I was the last to figure it out.
