I Will Do It Tomorrow... Poem by Denis Martindale

I've got this thing I've got to do!
You must know what I mean...
The kind of thing that makes me blue,
So that I'm not as keen...
The sort that glazes both my eyes,
Till my whole world's a blur...
It's not like I don't realise
When setbacks then occur...

I've got this thing that's on my mind!
You must know what that's like...
But motivation's hard to find,
It's lost or went on strike...
That little light that once had shone
Went out, yet I don't care...
Get-up-and-go has up and gone,
It's wandered off somewhere...

I've got this thing, this teeny task!
But start it? I cannot...
Although, God knows, not much to ask,
I think I've lost the plot...
Too much TV and magazines,
Or visitors that call?
Too many snacks as in-betweens?
Oh, no, not those at all...

I've got this thing that just won't start!
As if a broken clock...
As if I've somehow lost the heart,
Like I've got Writer's Block...
I scratch my head, then wash my hair,
My fingers slowly tap...
It's like somebody has to dare
To stir me from this trap...

I've got this thing, but it's got me!
I'm twiddling thumbs right now...
Please God, grant strength to set me free,
Release me, Lord, somehow...
That's it! OK! I'll humbly pray!
God's bound to sort it out!
All I need now's a brand new day...
Tomorrow's fine, no doubt!
