Motivation

“I’d do anything for love,” it said,

               In the lyrics of the song,

Or, “Do it all for you!” Another,

               Equally as strong,

Just “Do it for the World!” we’re told,

               To treat our planet nice,

And, “Do it for the children!” Heard

               Oh . . . once or twice or thrice.

“Please do it for your country!” Found

              When things have gone awry.

And “Do it for your neighbourhood!”

               It sometimes is the cry,

 “Please do it now for Peace!” I saw,

               In the news just yesterday,

“Please do the things that must be done!”

               Mysterious, I’d say.

Now, with all this advice right here,

               And good, it is. And true,

What is it that’s impelling and

is motivating you?

For me, I find that nothing pushes—

               Causes, drives or money,

Like the motivation CHOCOLATE gives,

               As it goes from mouth to tummy!

              

Mondays do get knocked a lot,

With poetry, we three besought,
To try to make the week begin
With pleasant thoughts--perhaps a grin?
So Jenny and Delores, we,
Have posted poems for you to see.
And now you've seen what we have brought . . .
Did we help?
Or did we not?

Next week, you'll find, with them and me,

Our favourite summer memory!
