Sonnet for Busy Times

This week is madness: way too much to do.
I write it down and so, gain some control
Upon it all, a sentinel’s patrol
To save some back, my precious time accrue.
Which little pill to start the day anew?
Give energy or peace, my thoughts cajole?
Each text that dings saps focus down a hole.
My thoughts are scattered pieces all askew.
So eat until you’re full; there’s one thing done,
Your fiber and your protein to the max,
And floss your chia seeds all while you pray.
Before you know, the battle will be won.
You might take Friday off and so, relax.
Just drink your coffee: you will find a way.
