One Busy Day

One busy day I had nothing to do
I headed to town and away from it too
Saw several people walk into a bar
Ducked underneath it and got in my car

I wasn’t too hungry, so I stopped to eat
Then took a long walk to get off of my feet
It was quite hot so I put on my sweater
Took off my glasses so I could see better

Went in my house to go out on the lawn
Turned a switch off so the lights would go on
Closed all the shutters to let in some light
Opened them up because it was too bright

Loaded the washer with all my clean clothes
Sure they were dirty or so I suppose
Rinsed them with water so they’d all get dry
Know it’s the best way but just don’t know why

As the sun sets I get dressed up for bed
Feet on the pillow and sheets on my head
Never always ready for another day
Got to be going, so here I will stay

Very amusing, Steaven. Your sence of humor is showing.

Sounds like an existential respite from it all!---from the mundane to the sublime!  

Really enjoyed the fun read, Steaven.

You know, when I read your poetry I often think what a great Dad you must be!  This is wonderful and has me smiling.  Thank you for all that you share - the stories, the smiles and the visions of small children giggling.
