Warning! Bad poetry ahead!


Well, make your topic of the day politics or religion, and you get some ACTION! Whoo hoo! Thanks to everyone who read my blog yesterday, I just wish you'd ALL come back every single day! And FOLLOW me for goodness sakes!

I'm less inclined to be as wordy today. Instead, read a dumb poem I was inspired to pen this morning.

Ode to Dirty Laundry

Jen’s day begins

Gentle shall she awaken..

Wait, she’s got children,

You must be mistaken


Loud meowing at the foot of the bed

Slamming of doors, voices, FLUSH!

She groans and pulls the warm blankets back over her head


On with the day

Coffee in hand

Kids off to school

Read Mom’s daily email, check eBay, Facebook, Bank balance…

Where’d all our money go??

Ahh, Jen, its called Supply and Demand


Wipe sticky counters

Clean up the dishes

Take a quick shower

Make the bed

Empty trash

Make those appointments

Run out to get milk

Haul 50 pounds of laundry

Down

Down

Down

Into the dark basement


The detergent is sticky

Blue goop down the side

This laundry is smelly

Stinks like somebody died


Back up to the sunlight

Breathing in the fresh air

Don’t slip on that pop tart

Children left on the stair


The hours pass so quickly

Family home…no more calm

Predictable and whining

“Whats for dinner? We’re hungry, Mom!!”


Alas, the day is over

Just collapse into bed

She turns to her hubby for a kiss

But gets a bedtime fart instead.


Goodnight!
