Ow,
suppose I'd better grow up
get up and get on with the day
but
if I could find a way to delay
doing it
would I take it?

and if I won cash in
the lottery
which always seems to
have forgotten me,
must be they had a lobotomy
or it could be that they don't
like me,
I'd take it for certain and
hide it under the mattress

but
then I'd probably worry more
and sleep less,

*** it
I'll just get up
and
get on with it.
