Woke up this morning
A list in my mind, Today was the day It would all be just fine. I'll bound out of bed Full of spitfire and grace; See me dance from the house With a smile on my face. I'll tackle my chores Sweeping through all the stores, Saving money and time Coupon queen throne is mine! I'll rush on back home Do my scrapbook and crafts, Create tonight's dinner And take out the trash. Then I'll hustle to work Where I'll speed through the job, Yes today will be one Where I'll dazzle the mob. So the alarm clock it rings And reality arrives, I stumble from bed Rubbing sleep from my eyes. I'm behind leaving home Tripping on the front stoop, I forget half my make-up My belt missed a loop. Not a thing got complete On my listing of chores, I'm late now for work, Who's got time for the stores?! The boss wants her coffee, My desk is a mess; If the work isn't done I'll be minus a check. I still plan to dream Of that glorious day, When I'll bound out of bed And the world goes my way. But until that does happen I guess that I'm stuck, With just being like all Of the other poor shmucks, Who get up each morning Thinking this is the day I'll become Martha Stewart, Heck, didn't she start this way????
