I have to go
I cannot stay
I'll come again another day
Work must be done
And still I stay
I'll do the work another day
A list of things that wait their turn
Unattended on the stand
I've stared at them time and again
The list must wait
I'm too absorbed
To do the things it has been told
The days go by
The dust builds up
The floors so sticky for the fly
The chores will wait
For I must stay
I'll do the tasks another day
