If I Could Get Organized Poem by Baidurya Mukherjee
If I Could Get Organized
There may be nothing wrong with you
The way you live the work you do,
But I can surely plainly see
Exactly what is wrong with me.
With you there may be nothing wrong,
But here's my trouble all along
I do the thing that don't amount
To very much with no account.
It isn't that I'm indolent
or dodging duties quite intent
I work as hard as anyone
And yet I get so little done
I nibble this, I nibble that
but never finish what I'm at.
The morning goes the noon is near
Before I know the night is near.
And all around me I regret
The things I haven't finished yet.
If I could just get organized
I oftentimes may realize
Not all that matters is the man
The man must also have a plan
It really seems important though
I let a lot of matters go
and all around me I neglect
the things I haven't finished yet.
I work as hard as anyone
And yet I get so little done
I'd do so much you'd be surprised
If I could just get organized.
Baidurya, I agree with you whole hearted on this one. I wish I was more organized. Sadly I'm not. As Raja said before me you have the potential to shine like a true star. Top marks and thanks for sharing this my friend. David
Hello my 5th grade teacher taught us this in 1987. I think I have most of the words but the order may be wrong. Maybe we can help each other. I'd like to share it with my students.

This one is too good. I find it hard to pick the best poem from your anthology! What a simple theme that you have dealt with so beautifully. I'm often sailing in the same boat as you!
