Francine Roberts Poet Couplet

A Day In the Life

~~~ A Day In The Life ~~~


Up at dawn and off to work.
Garden center today , that was a perk.
Watched two hummingbirds in mating dance.
Almost embarrassing but I snuck a glance.
With an hour to go I'd had too much sun
so back inside until the shift is done.

Long shift over, off to the store.
Milk and Chinese food but I still need more.
Stop at the liquor store for some wine
and now this day is turning out fine.
Dinner is done and nap time is now.
That hour in bed refreshes somehow.

Now open the wine and pour a glass.
In front of the T.V. I'll park my ass.
We single women are fine on our own.
You don't have to feel lonely just because you're alone.
Tomorrow... I'll start all over again
but this "overworked, underpaid" can be a real pain.

Jan Allison July 17, 2015 at 6:30 AM Lovely couplets and I loved the humourous touches Francine - there is a lot to be said for living the single life and I do love the line 'You don't have to feel lonely just because you're alone'.:-) hugs Jan xx 7
