Clean the house, put books away
Go to the bank and pay my bills
Do laundry, wipe the window sills
Clear that long backlog of mail
Make soup; but chuck the bread - too stale
Water the plants, hang up my clothes
And check that all my cupboards close
In short, ensure the house looks neat
But admit at 6 p.m. defeat
Prioritizing – that was fine
I made my list in record time
But interruptions always follow
Oh well, I’ll start again … tomorrow.
