Preparing for Easter

Laundry needs washing
Floors need scrubbing
Silver needs polishing

Gotta get busy
I'm running out of time

Carpets need vacuuming
Windows need cleaning
Furniture needs dusting

Gotta get busy
I'm running out of time

Eggs need dyeing
Baskets need filling
Decorations need hanging

Gotta get busy
I'm running out time

Groceries need buying
Food needs cooking
Cake needs baking

Gotta get busy
I'm running out time

Mind needs calming
Nerves need soothing
Body needs resting

But I gotta get busy
I'm running out of time!

  1. I enjoyed your repeated phrasing, and hope you can repeat a relaxed-and-enjoying-life mantra when these tasks are completed.

  2. Fast-paced piece that captures the busy season! I think I am going to pretend that Easter isn't happening this year. My son said he doesn't feel like celebrating any more with baskets or dyeing eggs, and I think I'm ok with that!
