Afterwords

So now that you’re through it
Faced your fears, yes dived in!
Not made mountains of molehills
Instead simply slipped in
To the challenge before you
Done the “I’d rather not”
Now it’s time to be spoiled:
Go for what you aint got.
Maybe small as the whiff
Of the breezes that sing
Through the flowers and treezes
Beneath robins' wings.
Or it could be a treat
Something “grownups” won’t eat
Ice cream snowshoes or icicles
Dripping chocolaty sweets

‘Cause you know it is true,
You can always indulge,
But the best time to do it
Is after the bulge
Of pressure has faded,
When the “musts” have been done,
Less guilt will engulf you,
Lots more fun will be won,
When the house you inhabit
Within and without
Has been cleared of its clutteredness
Inside and out
If you cross off the list
(but don’t make it too long)
It’s much more
Fun to play
You can shout like King Kong
“I have done it, I did it!
I have no more to do!
I can lie on the couch;
I can go to the zoo!
I can find my good friends;
I can cuddle alone,
I can read a good book;
I can chat on the phone.
I can wander outside,
doing naught:
Whoop de doo!!!”

You'll need nary a worry 'bout
What you SHOULD do!~
