Banjo Needs Learning

I have a banjo in my corner at home
I can't play it, despite my yearning.
I'm just too busy and leave it alone,
Sometime I'll give the banjo its learning.
But first. . .

Work needs working,
Car needs washing,
Friends need hanging,
House needs cleaning,
Dishes need doing,
TV needs watching,
Mother needs talking,
Elbow needs scratching,
Girlfriend needs kissing.

But after that I can learn my banjo,
You know, except first. . .

Facebook needs checking,
Driveway needs repaving,
Book needs reading,
Stomach needs eating,
Afternoon needs napping,
Sunset needs watching,
Pool needs swimming,
Closet needs reorganizing,
Trash needs out-throwing.

After rapid fire life-ing,
I'll be done with the trifling.
Maybe then,
despite how nervous I am,
and how hard it seems,
After all the things that need doing,
Maybe then I can follow my dreams.
