Nope, not some deep philosophical piece
Or about some 'destiny in life' sort of thing
Even with the maybe enigmatic title
But just some drivel, some garbage
That you might be able to help me with!
Have ya found 'tomorrow'?
If so, where did ya find it?
Can I buy it from the Co-op, Tesco
Or some local store?
Ya see, my dilemma is
I can never find 'tomorrow'
It seems to be gone for ever
Cos every time it gets here -
It's 'today'!
Hmm - strange that
And then, after each 24 hours, each 'today' becomes 'yesterday'
So there's millions of yesterdays and todays
For me - and Goldfinch too
But no tomorrows for me! Heehee.
And Fido said to me:
By the time you find out what 'Carpe diem' means
There won't be any day left to seize
It'll be bedtime!
Enough ramblings from me
'Ramblings?' says Fido
As he fetches his leash
'Where we going for walkies?'
Walkies today that is - never 'tomorrow'!

Fido is such a wise one! 🙏🏻🕊️
Thank you A.
Haiku, hey? You have such creative urges orchi, that I believe you would be best to consolidate and stay forever in today, where you have really found your length. If you venture into tomorrow with the rest of us, you may find you have lost the plot, all that energy dissipated.
