Midnight Date comical poem 629 by Angela Lansbury

At midnight to our delight

We'll wave goodbye to today

So I can sit up til twiight

Not wasting time today


However, on the other hand

Things did not go as we had planned.

I must announce with sincere sorrow

Today has become tomorrow


Now just a minute

Yesterday, has not become today

But also tomorrow

Has now become today


This is a linguistic problem

Which will not go away

And now tomorrow's things to do

Tomorrow means today


No more procrastinating

Today I must be brave

And use buttons and ribbons

And new shirts I had saved


I kept them for a rainy day

But the rain has not gone away

I might never get to wear them

If I don't wear them today


But lets look on the bright side

And make the inside outside

Today will soon be in the past

The days are runnying past so fast


I do not have a wedding

A funeral or crisis

Give it a rest, I'll wear my best

And see that this day nice is.

-ends-
