A Consistent Inconsistency
Somedays I will begin a chore
And work until I'm through.
But there are times when I need more
Incentive, oh so true!
Sometimes it's just my silly mood
That causes my delay;
A reason that is oh so crude
And slowly goes away.
Sometimes I need to keep in mind
I am the only guy
To do the work and so I find
The effort to apply.
