(alternative title: How to not do you)
I’ve a laundry list of things to do
not one of them involving you
so, if you please, I’ll be
getting on with my day
While I’d love to sit and stay
and chat until we’re old and gray
I know it just won’t be enough
so I’ll get on without it
Under red oak and blue sky I sit
to meditate and improve my wit
still I know it won’t be enough
so I get on with it
I guess I’ve gotten a bit more fit
and especially if by salt-lamp lit
I think I might be good enough
but I must errands run
Now a silly story my mind has spun
transforming chores from bore to fun
I purify my karma now
so I can move on too
And though there is so much to do
I just can’t stop thinking on you
so how am I supposed to act?
I get on with it
