The morning looked sturdy
Dependable, one might say
What must be done now?
There is work and play
Messes must be cleared
Food to prepare
Flowers to transplant
New snow to consider
Although that is not rare
Garbage to remove
Birds must have their feed
Look for the culprit
Stealing the thistle seed
Boots to be polished
Books to arrange
Poems to catalog
Check on the laundry
Water the lower level plants
Vacuum wherever needed
Make up the beds
Scrub all the toilets
Clean the tub and sinks
Check the smoothness of the ice
On the outdoor skating rink
A trip to the fish market
Drop letters in the mail
Get batteries for the flashlight
At the grocery squash and kale
That should about do it
Oh, sweep off the porch
Dry the bathroom mats in
The furnace room as well as
The mittens and the hats
A nap at about four, then
Start thinking about dinner
Watch the news for an hour
I’d say we have a winner
