get outta bed

some days the most i can accomplish is getting out of bed and making some peanut butter toast,
though just because i didn't build a rocket to mars,
or input data into a spreadsheet,
or keep my duolingo streak,
or sit on a golden toilet seat,
that doesn't mean the day was a bust,
since i at least wrote this dumb poem
that sounded a lot cooler in my head before i wrote it down

not quite as clever as i think

i forgot to write something clever,
so in haste,
i came up with this lame excuse for a poem,
and hopefully it will help me pass
my imaginary quota to feel productive
