Just Another Ordinary Day

Sweet overnight breath

Serves as a wake-up alarm

Make way for me

In the bathroom line

Today I am number one

***

Turning to the mirror I exclaim

What is a frog doing on the other side?

Holy cow! That’s my sleepy face…

Then I apply yogurt and pepper to

Clear the puffiness from my eyes

***

Sleepy heads running around

Booger faces finding socks in odd places

Rushing to box smorgasbord pieces

I cover little creatures with lots of kisses

***

Looking for the keys at the last minute

That were carefully placed in bowl

By my ADHD troll

The busyness never stops

With meetings and tasks that flop

***

Crazy demands and frowny faces

Spilling coffee on untied shoe laces

Blown up tires and changes of weather

I still manage to keep it all together

Arriving back home only to find out

That there is some food I have to scout

***

Bones exhausted crash into the soft

Embrace of lovers under the covers

Uh! Baby, is your taco grande?

Come closer don’t let it squander
