You’re always in perfect order,
Same old life you’re leading.
Why don’t you just admit it,
“More excitement!” your heart’s pleading.
Afraid to, as they say,
Step outside the box.
Don’t color outside the lines,
Your integrity would be lost?
I’m not saying that you should,
Run nude out in the cold.
Just try to be different,
Someone new, toss out the old.
Get outside this time of year,
Take a walk or try a sport.
The days are getting longer,
It’s darkness that’s getting short.
Be late for work one day,
At your desk, be the last.
Take someone that you love,
Out for a big breakfast.
Stop your constant bragging,
About time spent at the gym.
While you see and walk by trash,
Instead of tossing it in the bin.
Knock off your one-up-man-ship,
Let a person get in edgewise,
What you will learn from them,
You might find as a big surprise.
The saying “No one’s perfect,”
Couldn’t be any more true,
A fresh start is in order,
I’m sick of the same old you.
I know Winter nights are dreary,
Can leave you feeling delirious,
Instead, get ready for Spring!
And, don’t take the Groundhog serious.
