So I could recuperate (cough)<br>
But first had dishes to scrub<br>
Then I cooked yummy grub<br>
Which led to the routine<br>
Of scouring utensils clean.<br>
The hamper was piled so high<br>
It looked me square in the eye<br>
But began to slowly erode<br>
Load by tedious load.<br>
In between these joyous jobs<br>
I had to dust (we’re such slobs)<br>
And walk the dogs, feed the cats<br>
I wish I could remove these hats!<br>
I took a day off, whatever for?<br>
Now I’m so dead I need two more.

You know that someone’s lying<br>
And if they scream <i>Diversity</i><br>
Your kind is surely dying<br>
Should lazy types chant <i>Equity</i><br>
Your modest means are taken<br>
And run from <i>Inclusivity</i><br>
Be smothered or AWAKEN.

Made a new arrangement<br>
They found him in the cooler<br>
The bouquet rather fragrant<br><br>
It laid there right beside his head<br>
A single growing bloom<br>
That was a sickly shade of red<br>
And redolent of doom.<br><br>
Some don’t share what hurts them<br>
They simply choose to shoot<br>
And endless nagging questions stem<br>
From never knowing the root.

Now I’m giving it a shake<br>
To see what kind of pithy rhyme I can possibly make<br><br>
Between my endless chores<br>
I sift through whys and what fors<br>
Searching for a turn of phrase that ultimately soars<br><br>
So read a line or two<br>
I put them here for all of you<br>
Now pardon me if you please, there’s much I have to do.

You can’t say THIS<br>
So THIS is what I say<br>
It’s clearly<br>
Just an aegis<br>
Free thinkers won’t obey<br><br>
Write your laws<br>
And make new rules<br>
As much as you can pass<br>
Here’s a clause<br>
For all you fools<br>
Stick them right up your ass!

For those whom I don’t even like<br>
And pray for the strength from above<br>
When I’d rather be poked with a spike<br>
And I’m not judging anyone<br>
But the querulous I tend to shun.<br><br>
I struggle to open my heart<br>
With the innocent trust of a child<br>
As I watch the world fall apart<br>
And think <i>if I had only just smiled<br>
perhaps there wouldn’t be a foe</i><br>
I'm reaping what I chose to sow.

As my sins must be to you<br>
Forgive this lowly critter<br>
I’ll try to be more true<br><br>
A well-intentioned slacker<br>
With nothing much to show<br>
Whose heart is sometimes blacker<br>
Than this steaming cup of joe<br><br>
I shall forego consuming<br>
Until I cleanse my mind<br>
And remember once resuming<br>
How quickly I declined.

The reign of Spring has just begun.
