A Response To Sunday's Scribblings prompt "tomorrow."

ALMOST

I almost put my sneakers on

To go out for a run,

But then decided watching sports

Would be a lot more fun.

I almost chose to ride my bike

When I went to the mall,

But then decided driving there

Was faster after all.

I almost bought a healthy lunch

When I went to the store,

But tasted German sausages

And knew I wanted more.

I almost took three flights of stairs

When I went to go home,

But then the elevator came,

As did my friend Jerome.

I almost parked my car last week

The farthest space away,

But then the forecast called for rain

Which made it a bad day.

I almost put the ice cream back

Before I went to bed,

But said I’d start that plan next week

And ate two scoops instead.

I had a major heart attack

Last night I almost died. 

I almost made excuses but –

The truth won’t be denied.
