November Chores

November leaves which is what I had to rake
I had to hurry up for goodness sake
All I wanted to do was go out with my friends
But I had to wash my father's Mercedes Benz.

Washing cars and taking care of the lawn were my tasks
Oh how long will this hard work and misery last
The wind pressed against my cold sweat
My day was closing fast and the sky turned into a sunset

My friends kept calling me over and over again
The pile of leaves were as big as NFL linemen
My chores were just about done
And I was ready to have some fun

I grabbed my cell phone and keys
And read a text that my friends and I were going to play ultimate Frisbee
This was a very productive day
I'm glad that now I can relax and play.

  1. I really enjoyed reading your poem. I also wrote about having to complete chores, specifically raking the leaves. Ultimate frisbee sounds really fun.
