I cannot think of a thing to say
But I am writing anyway.
All I need to do is make a rhyme
I need not take up all your time
Just get it down, and check it off
The all important list. You scoff!
Are things on a list all worth the work?
Oh really now. Don't be a jerk!
If I wrote it down it must be done
Whether or not it is much fun.
Oh silly, I just can't see why
A list has power. That just won't fly!
The list was written down by me
And I can scribble it out! You see?
A list can't make me do a thing!
It can't make me dance, or make me sing!
But isn't the list like a promise made?
It says I owe, and it must be paid?
There is not room for a change of mind
There's no good excuse that I can find!
I can't scribble out until I do
Is a list really not like that for you?
No. I'm realistic about change.
If there is change I must rearrange.
And maybe, gasp! No, don't you pout.
Change might just mean that I should cross out
Something on the list that I thought before
But is just not needed any more!
