To Get Up And Get Things Done Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If I don't find a purpose,
To get up and get things done...
I'll waste the day away.
My day will waste away.

If I...
Do nothing,
But talk on the telephone,
Listening to people moan their groans...
I'll waste the day away.
My day will waste away.

And to have that as a habit,
Is not where my head is at!

And I do what I can for myself,
Without some people donating their help.
Some people have no need...
To begin one thing and see it through.

And when I tackle something...
It is going to get done!
Since that is what I do.

Some people,
Waste a lot of time.
Some people,
Can't make up their minds.
Some people,
Have nothing to do but to sing the blues!

Some people,
Waste a lot of time.
Some people,
Can't make up their minds.
Some people,
Have nothing to do but to sing the blues!

If I don't find a purpose,
To get up and get things done...
I'll waste the day away.
My day will waste away.

If I...
Do nothing,
But talk on the telephone,
My day will waste away.
I'll waste the day away.

Some people,
Waste a lot of time.
Some people,
Can't make up their minds.
Some people,
Have nothing to do but to sing the blues!

Some people,
Have nothing to do but to sing the blues.
That's all they do!

And I wont be giving up my time to find,
That choice to make...
As a habit!

That choice wont become my habit.

People making up their minds like that...
Can have it!
