    Id rather be resting than having to work
    When all of that cleaning just drives me beserk
    Id rathet be eating a nice creamy cake
    All pilled high with layers a feast on a plate
    Id rather be travelling to hot sunny climes
    Where the cool of the lotion is simply divine
    Id rather be writing this poem for you
    Because theres no better practise
    Than reading it through
