List For Today

This is a List poem. It is also a Didactic poem.

List For Today

Set goals that are reasonable

Reach them with the ladder of invisibility

Pet your dog and cat in equal proportion

Remember they are pets (They require petting)

Believe in one God. (More than one gets confusing.)

Flush the toilet frequently

Make sure something is in it

Take walks that have a foundation in reality (concrete or dirt will suffice)

Avoid land mines, sea mines and porcupines

Brush your teeth with a functional utensil (instructions will follow)

Follow traffic signals to their logical conclusion

Look both ways before crossing the street (Up and down are optional)

Fill your car with petroleum products (no need to pet them...They are not pets)

Stretch a dollar bill until it screams

Use it wisely (You may never see it again.)

Kiss your wife or husband or what ever the case may be tonight

Remember to breath (Breathing is important)

Make one list a day. (Call it,”List For Today.”) (Two would be ridiculous)

Kiss the day good-bye
