“Do it now!” I tell myself, “How often do you get this opportunity?”

“I’ll just stick some TV on, I need the background noise, you see.”

“So I’ve been flicking through for five minutes, whatever will my choices be?”

“Ready to begin, my laptop opens “Cree-hee-hee.”

“A cry, laptop down, up the stairs, one, two, three.”

“Could have got work done, but my girl, who will be,”

“Two, just next month, she requires me.”

“I take her to the park, down the slides, she yells “Whee!”

“Oh, missed opportunity, but don’t lament, because you see,”

“No other place in the world, would I rather be.
