Everyday!!

I wake up in the morning, it is 6 o'clock

I brush; I bath, put up the coffee pot

 “Wake up dear, coffee is here”

I smile, I serve and move on

The kitchen is on the golden run

The cooker steams, water boils

I run hither, vegetables to dice.

A dash of spice and a pinch of salt

A spoonful to taste, “aah, Well done!”

Square boxes lined up

Lunches to pack

“Where did he put his bag?”

“My coffee is cold, Oh Smack!!”

The clock says nine, my Cinderella time.

A quick change,

Make up’s done

“Just a sec, I’ll join you Hon!”

Its 7:30 now, just back from work

Dinner time, rats in my gut.

More steam, more salt

Food to the table is brought.

No waiting I pray,

Hope he is early today.

It was, it wasn’t, just the usual

The day is done and so are the dishes.

I head back to my bed,

Groggy eyes, sleepy tread

I lie down and soon I am as good as dead.

And I wake up in the morning, it is 6 o'clock.
