The To-Do List
Get up, get dressed,
My day has just begun.
Looking at the to do list, I groan,
For this day promises to be fun.
The first thing to do is eat,
A very hearty meal,
On my plate there is no meat,
for I'm a vegetarian.
The next thing I do is feed,
Cows, horses, pigs.
My little horse Star
Is very fond of figgs.
Now I'll tidy up, and head off to school.
I'll have to hurry,
Being on time is a rule.
Once I get home,
And my homework's done
I get 30 minutes for a bit of fun.
Then, after supper,
I feed once again,
Clean up the table, do the dishes and then,
sweep, mop, scrub, dub.
I clean the floors,
and I clean the tub.
And then I finally flop into bed,
Lay on the pillow,
And rest my head.
For now, the to-do list is gone,
Till tomorrow
brings another dawn.
