I strolled along a crooked road, the journey was so long.
I had to pack for 30 days and sang a month of songs.
The trees were all so very tall. The sun, it shone so bright.
I wasn’t sure I would be found again that fateful night.
But when I resolved that all was lost, sure I would not survive;
I heard a voice call, in the midst of it all
“trash duty minutes should not exceed five!”

Those first two lines are so lyrical! I particularly love the line “sang a month of songs.” 🙂
This poem is a beautiful image of someone taking forever to do a simple and disliked chore. Love it!
