I want to get ahead.
I hate to be behind.
In summer I do chores
so fall I can unwind.
Today I raked the leaves.
It’s easy when there’s less.
Then I shoveled snow
in my summer dress.
I hung the Christmas lights
then put them all away.
I kept emptying the trash.
I don’t like to delay.
I cleaned the sink twelve times.
(There wasn’t any grime).
I’ve finished all my chores….
until next summertime!
