Distracted

I had a list today.
A to- do list
A list detailed
and timed
making the most
of my time
alone in the Dower House
while his Lordship
strutted his stuff on the hills.

But alas,
other people were unaware
of my list.

Shops weren't open,
articles weren't available.
My timing was in disarray
and I lost the will
to continue with my list.

Disaster struck.
I succumbed
to a date square with a latte,
and a stroll by the canal.

The list is no more
It is blowing in the ether,
I am a fallen woman-
A woman with no list
and no will power.

I will write another list tomorrow.
I will turn over a new leaf
..of my notebook.
