Mind like a butterfly
Not staying long
On any one subject
Before moving on.
Mind like a butterfly?
I’ll make a short list,
Of things to be done
And must not be missed.
Mind like a butterfly!
Where is the book?
To write these thing down
I’ll just go and look.
Mind like a butterfly.
Just seen the paper
Come through the door
Will save it for later
Mind like a butterfly!
Must make the tea
Just fill the kettle
What’s this I see?
Mind like a butterfly
Here is an email
Must read it first
It may tell a tale.
Mind like a butterfly
Nothing gets done
So why am I tired
When down goes the sun

LOL I'm glad I am not the only one who has days like this G...
I was just between verses 3 and 4 myself then jumped to 6 to check my e-mail and MPS and hear I am
Excellent
Have a great day!
It is quite something isn't it, each day so full of doing thongs then looking back in the evening and realising none were completed. Thank you for your thoughts Andrew. ---- Now where's that list?
Thanks UNCLE ANDY for an elegant ACCORDIAN RECITAL and a Droll Ode to brighten everyones day ! We both love ACCORDIANS a melancholy & nostalgic note ! Love the POEM : Even @ 31 I've started making lists but dont tell BRIAN ! Its 7:30pm (FRIDAY) here so Im just trawling MPS before Brians Farewell (nasty word !) Buffet @ the Hospital Social Centre !
Blessings & Peace for You & Joyce
Love ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Thank you Andela. I have one list that I have had for years, the one with 'Books I need to read' it is about five miles long now. LOL
Take care
Andy.
A fine write Gold. Making lists or notes can help sometimes. Then the things are not 'on our minds' (or not so much) but are on paper.
Yes I do that but then forget where I put the lists.
You write any lists in 1066?
join the club my friend......
..... been a member for many years Frederick.
lol.....
Minds can be overworked until tired they sink in the murk of duties - I sit down and take a moment's rest then things become clearer - - first in importance is a good mantra for me.
Thank you for the advice Fay, I will put that on the list .... if I cab find the list.
Mind like a Butterfly Free and busy working in the short life it has. Peace and contentment is the name of the game my friend. Enjoyed the read as always Thank you
Thank you Moordy.
We're in the same club - we put a shopping list post-it note on the back door so we won't forget it - and still go straight past it leaving it behind. Enjoyed the so-true write.
Yep, done that. The funniest thing I did was to get a piece of music to play from the place we store our music in the utility room walk into the kitchen, a total of at the most ten feet, and found that I have put down the sheet of music and couldn't find it!
I got to remind myself to pay the dues, lest I become a member of the other club.
Remembering could be tiring
Those dues do need paying Suresh, I hope you have paid them.
