Analysis of A Matter of Taste
A matter of concern can fill
My mind "in no time flat",
And there it stays at least until
I find just where it's at.
A matter of opinion can
Grab my attention too,
It sometimes seems more friendly than
The things that I should do.
A matter of importance does
Influence which I choose,
To prioritize the day because
My interest I can loose!
