but I don't think he was lazy

My cat loves to eat.

Sitting all day in the house,

she is getting fat.

Thinking of that, I ought to

get up and go for a jog!

My get up and go has got up and gone
My life is dull when once it shone

I’ve simply looked everywhere
Even under the bed and the comfy chair

My mojo has gone on holiday
So if you find it please return it my way

I have a cat named Hasty
the absoulte center of my world.
Theres nothing on Earth that will make me,
give up my baby girl.
My house caught on fire
So I had to get up and go.
Watching my house burn on the oustside,
recording it with my I-Phone....Oops....

The time will come when the dirt must fly,
A time to lie down once more and shut both eyes,
Until that time no need for worry or fret,
Get up and go, be gone just get,
Right now just live, just live, just live,
Say thank you, and sorry, remember to forgive,...

November sadness saturates my soul feeling empty no-get-up-and-go 
Then the Sea fills my heart up with smiles watching her ebb and her flow

Standing firm in line,

along with many others,

yet first to grant a new start

for your get up and go

Without friends
We couldn’t mingle and Blend
There would be no glee 
Between you and me

During the summer 
Wouldn’t you prefer, 
To hang with you pal 
Than have a root canal?

So get-up-and-go
Don’t watch that T.V show 
And let your friends know
That you wanted to say hello...

Sometimes I wonder
If there will ever be

Someone to love,
Someone to comfort me

Then I sit down and hold my head,
It might be Better when i'm dead

So I Get up and go alone
To a place where I can  just forget

All the things that I find that I regret
And so I embrace the misery...

Would it matter if,
Days were twenty five hours,
and weeks were eight days? 

Time flies, travels, runs.
Not enough time in the day
Sleep, get up and go

Routines, set patterns
Things to do, see, eat, explore
Not everything's done

The to-do list's long
Never ends; continuous
Keep going, keep on...

Morning grows over the water,
  Sending shivers to my lover!
  Have to get up and go their way,
  All night they have stayed.
  Never wished them to go away,
  Such a nice way to start the day!
  Again night will fall,
  Finding my lover in the hall.
  "Share the pillow,
   Don't go away!"...

Lets start the spring in fashion
With some Get up and Go
Leave behind the icy Grip
The Winter and the Snow

Pour your warmth upon me
My celestial being awaits
Here the sunshine comes
Till my spirits abate

I wash in golden light
I bathe in it and behold
I rise in the warm waters
Like they were made of Gold...

My get up and go
Got up and went,
I’m repenting my sins
For wasted days I have spent.
It’s ok for me to not show up
Though I hate letting people down,
Would you rather I ‘had a face on’
Or laugh whilst wearing a frown?
Without sounding selfish
And I’m sure you agree,
It’s good being You
But I prefer being ME!!...

Summer heat zaps my get-up-and-go,
so I’m resting and taking things slow,
loving cold drinks, TV,
comfy couch, and AC! 
I’m too wise to invite heatstroke woe!

Sometimes you wonder what love really means
but your life depends on his
Laughing, romance, and playing
like I am always sayig
You dont know what love really means
until you get stuck in between
You will never know
if you dont get up and go
Try to find a girl i first sight
and make her night
And you both will feel better 
and be set forever.........

I'm tired, I ache,
everything's sore.
I kicked off my shoes
as I walked in the door.

Poured myself wine,
curled up in a chair.
It's a Friday night
but what do I care.

Too tired to party.
Those days have passed.
It's p.j.'s and T.V.
I'm comfy at last.

Getting old is the pits
and I needed to vent
since my get-up-and-go.
it got up and went....

Nothing left to hide but my tears
Standing in the shadows 
As my tears fall on my broken home
I’m invisible to you all
Instead of falling into you 
I hit the cold, hard, rough floor
So here I sit 
Wonderin’ what to do next
 Soaked to the skin in my own tears
Broken, nothing to comfort me now 
As I get up and go on
All alone,
Just like it should be....

I can no longer skip and jump,
Which makes me sad and blue
It also gives me the hump
When I look at you,
Vivacious, full of energy
Healthy and robust too
My, get up and go
Has got up and gone,
Left and ran away.
It is only proper
Every dog has its day.
So slow down, little puppy,
I can't keep up the pace,
It would cause embarrassment,
If I fell on my face....
