IT'S NOT THAT I'M LAZY - HUMOROUS POEM

"Most of the stuff people worry about happening, don't."




It's Not That I'm Lazy

~author unknown

I don't do windows because...
I love birds and don't want one to run into
a clean window and get hurt.
(I am compassionate)

I don't wax floors because...
I am terrified a guest will slip, hurt themselves,
I'll feel terrible
and they may sue me.
(I am careful and poor)

I don't mind the dust bunnies because...
they are very good company,
I have named most of them,
and they agree with everything I say.
(I am imaginative)

I don't disturb cobwebs...
because I want every creature
to have a home of their own.
(I am kind)

I don't Spring Clean because...
I love all the seasons and
don't want the others to get jealous.
(I am fair minded)

I don't plant a garden because...
I don't want to get in God's way,
he is an excellent designer.
(I am courteous)

I don't put things away because...
my family will never be able to find them again.
(I am considerate)

I don't do gourmet meals when I entertain because...
I don't want my guests to stress out over
what to make when they invite me over for dinner.
(I am thoughtful)

I don't iron because...
I choose to believe them when
they say "Permanent Press".
(I am trusting)

I don't stress much on anything because...
"A-Type" personalities die young and
I want to stick around and become a wrinkled
up crusty ol' woman!!
(I am winning this battle!)


LOL
