Busy

Life is so busy sometimes
With places to go and meals to prepare.
Princess looks dejected wanting a lap upon which to recline.
Sorry girl but cornbread demands making
And potatoes need mashing and greens need attention to cook up just fine..
Maybe later or sometimes tomorrow upon my lap you can lie.
We will listen to music and watch the world go by..

Russell Sivey Date: 4/10/2013 8:44:00 AM I believe the making of the cornbread is the most important thing you did...Ha ha, I love cornbread! Life does get extremely busy, but we need to stop and smell the cornbread every once and a while! Your poor Princess, she just wanted a lap, but sometimes life doesn't allow for things like that to happen! I understand this, we all do I'm sure, we only have time for so many things to be done and that's just the way it is! I loved reading this awesome poem here Sara! You have delighted me!!

Poet Tacito Date: 4/10/2013 8:18:00 AM One should never get so busy to miss out on the simple moments, as stated in this piece with the pet wanting to lay down on your lap. It happens, but it shouldn't. That said, freshly made cornbread will distract from just about anything else. :) I enjoyed this read! Login to Reply
