Before I Sleep

~willjxn~

Before I sleep I’ll make a list

of things to do but to resist:

The garden needs some flowering,

The office needs un-towering.

The kitchen sink needs dishes washed,

The table needs the bread crumbs tossed.

The toilet needs a good scrubbing

My wife’s sore back— a soft rubbing,

The book at hand needs me to read.

Now add to this, I’ll write this screed.

Dogs need their walking

Granddaughters un-squawking

I’ve miles to go before my need,

for good night’s sleep, my conscience heed.
