A Not-So-Gentle Push

It’s easy to do nothing – 
Sit at home and park your tush,
But sometimes you must give yourself
A not-so-gentle push.

And so, on this delightful day
With sunshine in the sky,
I took the subway to a store
With things I like to buy.

The streets were filled with tourists
And the shops festooned with lights.
I stopped to see the Christmas tree
That soars to dizzy heights.

It wasn’t super crowded
And I splurged and bought a dress.
My little push gave me a day
Which was a sweet success.
