I found a poem that I started many years ago that was never finished until today. Perhaps, I’ve just had too many things on my retirement To-Do list?

To-Do

.

My “To-Do” List,
Has done me in.
Too much for me,
I need a twin.

.

All those To-Dos,
Plus, the bucket list.
Places to go,
Things that I’ve missed.

.

I haven’t done this,
Should have done that.
Might have gone there,
Instead, I just sat.

.

Babe do this,
Sweetie do that.
The Honey-Do list,
Is also too fat.

.

Much too long,
Can’t do this alone.
Perhaps, I can make,
Myself a clone.

,

It’s all my fault,
For saying “I do.”
Can we go back,
And start anew?

.

Don’t want more to do,
Just want to have fun.
Don’t want to be doing,
Just want to be done.

.
List upon list,
Line after line.
Do I do yours?
Or start on mine?

.

Busting at the seams,
Ready to pop.
Don’t add on,
Please just stop.

.

So much To-Do,
Once I’ve begun.
Took too little action,
Not much Ta-Done.

.

Wish I Could,
Make it all disappear.
Cross it all off,
And shout “Ta Da.”

.

There seems no more,
Left here to write.
I’m finally done?
That can’t be right?
