Most recently, I've searched for meaning  
and I'll admit it: I'm a slouch.  
Imagine though, my weekly cleaning,  
and I find meaning in the couch!  
Next to a few forgotten quarters,  
receipts from ancient take-out orders,  
a candy wrapper, I think Mars,  
and free-drink coupons from some bars.  
Well, that’s accomplished; what’s for dinner?  
I’m full of purpose and resolve,  
doubts melt, evaporate, dissolve,  
and can it be? I’m feeling thinner.  
Just a quick search, that’s all it took.  
Now off to write my self-help book.

Most recently, I've searched for meaning  
and I'll admit it: I'm a slouch.  
Imagine though, my weekly cleaning,  
and I find meaning in the couch!  
Next to a few forgotten quarters,  
well wishes from past due supporters,  
a candy wrapper, I think Mars,  
and free-drink coupons from some bars.  
Will my life change, now that I've found it?  
A bit unclear, at least for now.  
I know the what, but what's the how?  
There may not be a way around it...  
will I just have to put it back?  
I wonder what there is to snack.
