Perfect Plans

Today’s poem shows how daydreams of perfect plans actually turn out in reality.

Let’s get started in 3… 2… 1!

"Nothing is better," he happily spoke,
"as lovely, as awesome, as totally dope,
as thoroughly thumping, as gloriously grand,
as thinking about all the things that I've planned!"

😀😀

"It gets me so jolly, it drives me so wild,
to think of my fabulous future!" he smiled.
"To picture the things I've been dreaming, come true!
To tick all the boxes on my list to-do!"

☑️✅☑️

"I vow, and I swear, and I promise, proclaim,
I'll stick to my plans and my goals and my aim.
It will be exalting, it will be sublime!",
exclaimed he, impatiently biding his time.

⌛⌛⏳

And so it will happen, and so it will be,
the arrow of time will fly by speedily.
The future will come and go by in a flash.
And all of his planning will somehow just crash.

😶😶😶

For when he makes all of these plans in his head,
there's one thing he doesn't account for - his bed!
In spite of his planning, so wide and so deep -

that time will be spent

catching up on some sleep.

That’s it! I wrote this poem back in July. Now that we have a lot more friends checking out Hello Universe, I decided to share it again! Check out “Some fun stuff” below!

Some fun stuff:

This is a place where I share something cool to read, something cool to listen to, and something cool to watch! The colored words are links that you can click to visit the recommended content.

1. Read “Leftovers” and “Goodwin Reads” : I made some amazing friends as part of “Substack Go”. Let’s talk about them today:

   LaChrista is a writer, speaker, librarian, and maker. Her newsletter “Leftovers” features articles, book suggestions, librarianship, witchiness, music, and self-care. Think of it as a cozy spot on the internet.

   Cory is an all round amazing guy. He writes “Goodwin Reads”, where he publishes some excellent book reviews. I love his frank and refreshing style!

2. Listen to Summer Dreams by Skream : This is a super chill and laid back mashup of various samples. I put it up after a long and tiring day to unwind. Check it out! 🎧🎵

3. Watch Rush: The guy who made superhits like Apollo 13, and A Beautiful Mind, made a movie about a historic F1 rivalry, starring Thor and Helmut Zemo, back in 2013. It doesn’t get better than this. I am planning to rewatch this movie over the weekend!

I would love it if you also shared some fun stuff that you love to read/ listen to/ watch across the internet, down in the comments.

See you next week!
