What is today's priority?
It's different for you and me
For some it's coffee; others tea
For some it's you; for some it's me
What do we have to do today?
For some work first, for others play
For some it's laugh, for some it's weep
For some it's exercise, or sleep
I'm waiting on the telephone
Wait for a train, or wait at home
I fly a plane, they fly a drone
Donate money, or seek a loan
For some it's sweep, or paint the house
Look for lost cats, or catch a mouse
Watch the waves, or sniff the flowers
Fill a diary, waste the hours
Each minute I can save or lose
I have a choice, but I must choose.
To help me sort the list I see
Prioritize a cup of tea.
What must I do next, should I cook?
A writer ought to write a book
Get dressed in my best, wash my hair
Or sit down on my writer's chair?

I changed ask for to seek, to save a syllable and keep the eight syllable system. Decorate the house became paint the house.
