Errands

A poem about errands

It’s a bitter pill to swallow
On a long and tedious laundry day
One last task to complete
And then all the errands are done
That bitter pill came
When the phone rang
To add more errands to the list
Even though the caller could
Easily do those new errands
Without adding more to someone else’s plate
Oh the bitter tediousness
Of extra errands on laundry day
