Dilemma

In a world where choices dance and play,

I woke this morning, bright and gay,

But oh, the options had me frazzled,

With all my plans completely razzled!

Should I have pancakes or go for toast?

Might I regret whichever I chose the most?

With syrup or jam? The question weighed,

As indecision brewed a quandary parade!

Coffee or tea? A conundrum steeped,

As caffeine fiends around me leaped.

“We can’t have both!” my friend declared,

But alas, both options were thoroughly shared.

To walk or to run? The gym called my name,

But Netflix had offered a far more inviting game.

Would I emerge fit, or on a snack quest?

In the end, my couch claimed the gold medal, no jest!

Now I ponder dinner—Thai or Italian delight?

One promises spice, while the other feels right.

With a growl from my stomach, I fear I might burst,

But a survey of options has left me nonplussed!

Should I wear the blue hat or the bright yellow one?

Both look so fabulous, how can I choose just one?

It’s a fashion dilemma, a catastrophe near.

I’ll just toss on both—stunning! It’s clear!

So if life’s little dilemmas ever cause you dismay,

Remember, indecision’s just part of the play.

Embrace the absurdity, laugh at the strain,

For in the grand scheme, it’s all just a game!

    That’s just so good! I loved it, especially:

    To walk or to run? The gym called my name,

    But Netflix had offered a far more inviting game.

    Would I emerge fit, or on a snack quest?

    In the end, my couch claimed the gold medal, no jest!

    I know that feeling! I’d love to add this to my writing prompts post for next week if you don’t mind. I know we’ve moved on to a new prompt but I know other readers will thoroughly enjoy it.
