I’d rather do my chores around the house,
Perhaps go write a rhetorical analysis.
I’d rather do my math homework,
Or go pull weeds in my garden.
I’d rather bang my head against the wall,
Maybe go run a few miles.
I’d rather get tons of paper cuts,
Or teach my grandma how to play Halo2.

I can't write poetry for the life of me, so this is a list of things I'd rather do than write poetry. (it's a list poem)
