House-Keeping
I should be washing dishes
But squirrels are playing in the backyard.
I should be dusting and sweeping
But the sun is so warm on the back deck
I should be mopping the kitchen floor
But there are wild flowers to be admired.
I should be vacuuming the carpet
But the breeze is perfect for kite flying.
I should be doing laundry
But the fish are biting in the pond.
After a long winter, it is finally spring,
And my house will just stay messy a while longer.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
