Get organized. Go to sleep.

Got to get up early

to beat the summer heat.

Up at sunrise, with coffee in hand -

Have to sort out those green leafy plants.

Sometimes it can be hard

To decide the difference between

Which plants are plants,

And which ones are weeds.

Next a small trim to the tree that hovers right over

The fence to my neighbor’s backyard

 And dish-shaped channel provider.

Once it’s all done, I can reward myself with a swim.

Don’t want to wait until later,  as a monsoon might roll in.

After all that, I can then truly say

I have the whole afternoon free to enjoy Saturday.
