No-Do Days (poem)


After a few glorious, lazy days ...

NO-DO DAY
By Wayne Visser

Doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-ways –
You’ve just gotta love them no-doo-bee days.
No grind and no sweat; no work set to do,
Nobody to please; nobody but you.

Do nothing on benches of sun-dappled shade,
Do nothing in cafes with fresh lemonade.
On beds and on sofas, with books and TV –
No-do days are dandy; what’s more, they are free.

No cook and no clean; no list of to-dos,
No drop and no fetch; no guilt in a snooze.
Doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-ways –
You’ve just gotta love them no-doo-bee days.
