I need to run my errands today
They are all along the straight and easy road
that runs from home to the last stop
My neighbor came running from her abode
Seems she has forgotten her garage code
She had given it to me, for just in case
Problem averted, time to go
First stop is the department store to return
a curling iron that heats up way too slow
My son calls-he needs his nyckelharpa bow
I’ll run back and get the bow to school,
which is back closer to home
Then I will get back to the department store
Uh Oh! Daughter calls for her megaphone,
“It’s in the backseat”and “Please bring it to Jerome’s”
Jerome lives past the department store
Closer to the dentist who was my next stop
In fact! I am due there now!
I call and change the appointment and run into the gift shop
To buy my husband a riding crop
On to Jerome’s to drop off my daughters megaphone
She is in Cheer, if you’re curious
Now to my last stop, my husband’s shop
I am very late! Hope he is not furious!
He calls and asks me to meet him at the Epicurean
Well…I did not get any of my original errands done!
Tomorrow is another day
I’ll drive that straight and easy road
As long as nobody leads me astray
I will get up early and get on my way
