FULL PLATE
Of me they say
“He'd be late for his own funeral”
To which of course I reply
Too many things to accomplish
Before I'm ready to die.
Contemplating
highest mountains to climb
arias I'll sing at the Met
countless autographs to sign
the billions I'll win with one bet
Pondering
the many novels I surely will write
voluminous assemblages of poetry
for world peace, to end hunger I’ll fight
Olympic gold medals, skiing and archery
Tomorrow
I start implementing my plan
to each feat dedicating my all
now I must go work on my tan
binge watching my shows at nightfall

So much to do, so much to see....
It's why I have to believe in eternity!
Otherwise I would despair.
I definitely get this - all the great intentions.... tomorrow....
Nice, clever write!
