I wanted to write a poem But sat outside and watched The leafs grow And the children swing And the flowers dance Instead I wanted to write a poem But read a book And thought about adventures And hoped for one myself Instead I wanted to write a poem But called up a friend And told a joke And made them laugh aloud Instead I wanted to write a poem But listened to music And the sound of your voice And the house settling at night Instead I wanted to write a poem But always find myself Doing other things Instead But if you think about it It's kind of like writing a poem Anyways
