Reason Why I Haven't Read My Bible

I meant to read my Bible today,
but I got up far too late;
The family needed breakfast of course,
they couldn't wait!

I meant to read my Bible today, but
then a friend turned up,
And when he went, I had to do
a lot of washing up.

I meant to read my Bible today,
instead I watched the news.
Well, after all, one must keep up
with everybody's views.

I meant to read my Bible today,
but lunch was calling me,
So off I went, and didn't get home
till nearly half past three.

I meant to read my Bible today,
but children came home from school,
Lively boisterous, full of fun
I almost lost my cool.

I meant to read my Bible today,
but now it was time for tea,
Then clear away the dishes
so little lime for ME.

I meant to read my Bible today,
but there was football on TV.
An international match
which England lost 2-3.

I meant to read my Bible today,
but it's nearly bedtime now.
I'm oh, so tired at the end of the day
that I hardly remember how ….ZZZZ
