One to-do list can stretch for days
so why disturb it
and have to re-compose some ways
just to refurb it.
Douglas Adams loved the sound
as deadlines passed –
their whizzing whoosh – and never found
them out-classed.
Tomorrow’s is another date.
There will be time
and if there isn’t, it’s too late
to clear the grime.
Work ethic’s a perpetual curse
we’ve made no dent in.
After five years the dust’s no worse.
Dear Quentin!
