Cats & Netflix

I'm giving up on certain things like bicycles and gardening

and walking to the grocery store

because the rain has started in the city and though the greenery is pretty

it's not enough to get me out the door

'tis the season now of grey and brown/ of giving up and sitting down

and layering and woo-ly socks

I'm celebrating solitude and eating soup instead of food

and never walking more than seven blocks

Cause I've got cats, and I've got netflix

I've got games, and I've got snack mix

and I am gonna stay indoors for 4 or 5 months or more

I'll have several 5-blanket nights, forget to buy my christmas flights

and procrastinate halloween

as a consolation prize, for heavy clouds that fill the skies

there's pumpkin spice in everything

Every morning it gets darker out, I'm gonna wear these markers out

with all these lists of things I'll never do

And when my motivation's gone, I'll order snacks from Amazon

and try to knit a scarf for you

Cause I've got cats, and I've got netflix

I've got games, and I've got snack mix

and I am gonna stay indoors for 4 or 5 months or more

I've got plans, I'm gonna make things

If I get hungry, I might even bake things

they say fall is only passing through

but I don't really want it to

Cause we've got cats, and we've got netflix

We've got games, and we've got snack mix

and we are gonna stay indoors for 4 or 5 months or more
