Calendar App

Have you got one?

Oh hello Wednesday!
It’s not bad for a Monday.
I can’t remember last Thursday.
Wait, when’s the par-tay?

The calendar app may be
the best tool I ever bought.
I use it more and more
the busier my life gets.
My loyalty is rewarded
with timely reminders
and spot on directions.

The calendar app tells me
where I’ve been,
where I’m going,
how busy I’ve become,
and maybe, just maybe,
to a marketer perhaps,
who I really am.

Keeping a calendar
keeps me out of trouble.
But by far my favorite days
are still the empty ones.
