My To Do List
Before I Die, Or Get Arrested
Last week I made up my mind to start me a notion
So, I plotted and schemed putting a plan into motion
Jotted down some ideas, things that really needed doing
Listed some movies on Netflix, I looked forward to viewing
I picked up the clutter that spread throughout the house
Sewed some patches on jeans and buttons on my blouse
I cleaned out the car and donated to Goodwill
I weed whacked and mowed, except that patch on the hill
Some ground bees live there, and they sting like the dickens
I debated buying goats and a few free-range chickens
But back to the task of completing that notion
I really must get better at controlling my emotions
Last week I blew up at the guy down the street
I followed him on twitter, till I read what he'd tweet
Some obnoxious gibberish about the length of my grass
All the other neighbors heard me, as I called him an ass
I said if you want to get stung, you mow the grass, with the bees
Then, shove it where it don't shine, if you know what I mean
Then, I made him some cookies, to make up and keep peace
The last thing I need is him calling the police
On "that grouchy divorcee'" who lives down on the corner
I never thought I'd be that lady, when I got older
So, my notion to be better, is coming along
I'll be minding my p's and q's, so that nothing goes wrong
