You can’t get the podcast you want – you decide to write a rhyme
When it’s done you’ll find other ways to spend your time
When you’ve done wordle and got it in two
You should do laundry but anything else is better to do
Maybe there’s a new book you want and you’ll look online
*
There’s always deciding what kind of tale
One about a giraffe a rhino or a big blue whale
Or a magic painting – a haunted house on a hill
Perhaps a scary cemetery or a contested will
A love letter in the mail or a speedy snail
*
You might be the most stubborn girl on this green earth
And the world is your oyster – of free time there’s no dearth
You can hold out forever and ever
You’ll give in to difficult humans absolutely never
You’ll be patient zen and cool for all you’re worth
*
It might be a good day to write about Mars
A dentist an accountant or a plumber named Lars
Let your vivid imagination run wild
Don’t write anything boring or mild
A story about Pandora’s peach preserves in jars
*
Maybe you can get your desired podcast later
If not a sci fi movie about a giant man eating gator
You don’t have to be all that discerning
Not everything has to be all about learning
Have a snack – maybe fries or tots tater
*
And if nosy ninnies interfere in your life
Because sometimes such people are around and rife
Ignore ignore and do your thing
And out loud with your (my) awful voice sing
Don’t let their behavior cause you strife
*
You can laugh until the cows come home
Let the silly and snooty elsewhere roam
Maybe you’re a poet and don’t yet know it
If you want – write it down and really show it
And go savor a beer that’s not all foam
