Listless

I listed all the things in the world:

  A dervish whirl,

    A handsome girl,

      A Cadbury's Twirl;

I listed all the things in space:

   Sputnik waste,

       The moon's other face,

  The furthest, most farthest and far-away place;

I listed all the things in the soil:

  My nanny's old bones,

        A false plastic hand,

All of the toil of all in the land;

I listed all the things in the past:

    They burned the grass,

          About ten trillion rats...

...And all of the many misplaced winter hats;

I listed all the things in the future,

        But I'm never too sure,

          If things are secure,

With the global rising temperature...

I listed all the things I want,

    And apart from a jaunt,

      To my local haunt,

With a pint in hand, I'd want for naught.

I listed all the lists I've made,

    And the list I made,

       I'll take to my grave, 

         With all my belongings.
