Making The Effort. Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

My get up and go has got up and gone
tired of waiting it’s gone on alone.
I am content to just and wait.
It’ll come back with tales to relate.

Of where it’s been and what it’s seen
Its only aim to turn me green
with jealousy and stimulate
my interest before too late.

Rouse me from my lethargy
There is so much to do and see.
But I prefer to hibernate
Although I do appreciate.

The effort it’s prepared to make
I really do make no mistake.
I must cast off this lazy mood
I am sure that it would do me good.

I need some retail therapy.
There’s nothing really wrong with me
A little shopping will not cure.
I have responded to the lure.

I’ll wash my face and comb my hair
A quick car ride will take me there.
The metro centre beckons me
I can afford a spending spree.

If not today then tomorrow.
Although I may have to borrow
more energy from somewhere.
I will get up and go. So there.
