I'm Really not Lazy

Arnold Spilka

I'm really not lazy --
I'm not!
I'm not!
It's just that I'm thinking
And thinking
And thinking
A lot!
It's true I don't work
But I can't!
I just can't!
When I'm thinking
And thinking
And thinking
A lot!




Quotes of the Day

    The Tree
    by Sara Teasdale
    OH to be free of myself, With nothing left to remember, To have my heart as bare As a tree in December; Resting, as a tree rests After its leaves are gone, Waiting no more for a rain at night
