A thousand thoughts run through my head
but none of them seem to jell
if one did it would be the end
blood must not stall in the skull.

My friend told me to focus
and thoughts will zero on
some distant goal that's sure to bring
results that end my null.

Now that's all good and well
and while I ponder still
the clock ticks on and on and on
and my goal is still not full.

What can I do to motivate
this lump of body fat?
I'll do what takes no thought at all
I'll find some weeds and pull.
