"My Too Many Things"

My Too Many Things

Samples to get run and broken centrifuges

Paying for Tayan to sing Disney dirges

Too much money spent on gambling

These are a few of my Too Many Things

Columns of data that mean nothing to me

Notes for corrections that I can’t clearly see

Meeting with a scientist who knows everything

These are a few of my Too Many Things

Want to see Annie, want to help Sara

Want to re-do the grout in disrepair-a

Want to play games with Tayan and Zene

These are a few of my Too Many Things

When the dog whines

When the kids cry

When I’m feeling sad

I can’t help but recall my Too Many Things

And then I go quite mad

I want to run a half marathon this year

I want to carry my church to the future

But my back is a wreck and I like to sleep in

Just one or two of my Too Many Things

Assignment for class that I don’t want to look at

Cookies that I want to eat make me get fat

It should all come together with string

Instead it seems to be unraveling

Have to remember that everyone’s been here

Days when the haze makes the future so unclear

It doesn’t help that I’m PMSing

It’s just one more of my Too Many Things

So when they pile up

And fall over

And I’m feeling bad

I need to remember we all have these Things

And then I won’t feel so mad.
