Alarm Buzz
Head full of fuzz
Stayed up to late
Shower can wait!

Didn’t do whites
Kids homework not right
No time to eat
Have traffic to beat.

She missed the bus
Just my luck!
Schools out of the way
Now traffic’s delayed.

Dropped her at loop
I forgot my damn soup!
No time to stop
Did I just pass a cop?

Was I going that fast?
How long will this last?
Gotta get to my job
I am ready to sob.

Back on my way
What a start to my day
I should head home
Hit work’s number on the phone.

Cough, Cough, I’m ill
Gonna stay home and chill
Now back in bed
To sleep like the dead.

Author Note – Wanted to mention that this was a school project I worked on back in the days when I had kids at home. There are still days that feel like this though… and I think most parents will completely relate to this post. Hang in there!
