SO MUCH TO DO

I’ve a busy day ahead,

Right from the starting gun.

I climb out of bed,

Then it’s non-stop run, run, run!

I have to get the paper,

Read who’s where and what.

I make the coffee,

So strong it melts the pot!

Next I shave and dress;

I must try to look my best!

Always there’s the chance

Of an unexpected guest.

I read for a while,

Grope for an elusive word

(The daily crossword puzzle):

‘Six spaces – a jungle bird’.

I help my darling wife.

With her work without end.

Washing, vacuuming,

Disposing, make and mend.

At last we have a drink,

Single malt Scottish brew,

Get a little tight,

Watch TV an hour or two.

At last it’s off to bed.

To sleep, except to pee.

Where do I find the time,

To write such great poetry!
