Every day I'll write a couplet
Even though it's just a droplet
Just to prove I am a poet
'cause I want the world to know it
How much more can I achieve
With just small progress every day?
With my tiny bite-size effort
Tasks don't seem like work, just play
I could learn another language
Wait 'til twenty years go by
Dull days drip out like hourglass sand
Decades pass fast, like a blinking eye
Will my dead diary just show shopping
Doctor, dentist, hospital?
If I add, 'Write daily poem!'
Obey alarms, it will enthrall
Yes, every day I'll write a couplet
Even though it's just a droplet
Just to show that I'm a poet
Bequeath a book, the world will know it.
