I Used My Canvas Tote Bags

I went to the grocery store today

I make the trip once a week

I had two bags that were packed full

I used my canvas tote bags

They’re good for the environment

They save on paper and plastic

Save the planet is my motto

Conserve in all that we do

Everyone must help the cause

Everyone must do their part

Maybe it's Because It's Monday

I can’t seem to get going this morning

I slept alright last night

I got up my usual time

I drank my juice and took my vitamins

I had my coffee and smoked my pipe

Everything seemed the same as usual

It’s not as if I have a lot to do

But still I have no energy

Maybe it’s because it’s Monday

It’s hard getting the week started

The Mind Gives Value to Life

I thought about going to the bakery

I had a craving for a cinnamon roll

I talked myself out of it

Self-restraint is a good thing

The mind should guide the body

We are divided into two parts

The body is full of desires

Everything it desires seems to be good

But the mind decides between good and bad

The mind gives value to life

Clothes Must Be Kept Clean

I walked to the store this morning

I needed some laundry detergent

Clothes must be kept clean

I don’t let dirty laundry pile up

I wash whenever I get a load

It’s one of those chores I must do

Nothing’s worse than smelly clothes

Doing laundry is easy with machines

I actually enjoy doing it

Clean clothes give me self-esteem

The Light Affects My Mood

The skies were cloudy today

There was a little rain

I opened the blinds

I wanted to let in some light

The light affects my mood

On sunny days I’m cheerful

On dark days I’m dreary

On days like today I’m just okay

There is a connection

It seems so simple to me

I'll Lie Down for a While

I must have been tired last night

I woke up later than usual this morning

But I feel rested now

Oh my I just yawned

Maybe I’m not so rested after all

I have nothing to do today

There’s no reason to go out

There’s no place to go

No people to see

I’ll lie down for a while

It Was A Picture in a Storybook

I went for a walk in the park

It was nice in the morning

The flowers were in full bloom

They were beautiful

The fountain gushed forth its water

It looked cool and refreshing

An adolescent couple embraced

They showed that young love is shameless

It was a pretty picture

It was a picture in a storybook
