Some days I feel extremely lazy.
I don’t want to work.
I certainly don’t want to work
until midnight
(as I did last night and the night before).
But then I remember
Queen Elizabeth II,
a freakin’ Queen,
standing in the pouring rain,
waving to her people,
because it was her Diamond Jubilee
and that was what people expected.
She’s 86 years old,
a Queen,
and she was working it.
What is my excuse?
What is your excuse?
(hint: being a Queen
clearly isn’t a legitimate excuse,
and neither is being in your 80’s)
Time to get back to work.
