The day spins wildly as I once again think, I must get my ducks in a row, The words flow through my fingertips as I dash another line out, Poetry, endless poetry, But I haven't gotten my ducks in a row.
The ducks...a fulfilling job, The perfect girlfriend and body, I want no love handles in sight, And that would be more than alright.
No unsightly veins, no rippling skin, All I want is just to be average to thin, The scale, my old nemesis, Still reads fifteen stone, I moan.
This was inspired by the movie A Lot Like Love that I watched the other day. I don't want to spoil it if you haven't seen it, so I'll just say the main character says he wants to get "all his ducks in a row".
