My Day — aka Being A Mother
A poem I wrote long ago when life was simple!
You can read the whole poem for free on this link!
I groan awake; alarm is ringing
Persistent thing is unforgiving!
Must I acknowledge it is morning?
My muddled brain is busy yawning
Flush the loo and splash the sleep
Work skirts in the ironing heap
Kids have been up for a time
As I drag their uniforms off the line
Lay them out on unmade bed
The dog is yelping to be fed
Quickly text my absent lover
Lest he thinks about another
Nutritious lunch I’m quickly packing
Kids might see the food I’m wrapping
I need coffee; boil the jug
Give each one their morning hug
Call the kids to have their forage
This one wants some nice hot porridge
That one only eats rice bubbles
My third likes egg; if it’s no troubles.
Please get dressed; I’ll tie your shoe
